Representative Gomberg, sponsor of the measure, told colleagues the bill \"is not a bill that brings offshore wind to Oregon\" but instead will buy time for \"robust stakeholder conversations\" and better information if the federal government returns with a new lease auction. The roadmap task force established in 2024 includes tribes, the fishing industry, labor, ports and conservation groups, according to the bill carrier, and the extension requires no new funds.

Opponents from coastal districts voiced strong resistance. Representative Boyce noted a recent county initiative in Curry County in which voters opposed offshore wind and said constituents across three counties largely object to the proposals. Representative Wright and others echoed coastal concerns about feasibility, storms and ecological differences between East and West coasts.

Supporters argued the extension preserves the state’s ability to participate in federal processes and to represent local and tribal voices. Representative Mannix offered an analogy to a change in national rules and said the state needs the information to respond. Representative Graber, who worked on the bill, said the roadmap was designed as a forum to ensure local voices are heard and urged approval. Representative Gomberg said the extension \"will continue the conversation\" and emphasized that it would not itself authorize construction or leases.

The House carried the measure on final reading and declared it passed. Lawmakers said the extra time was intended to ensure better community engagement and to prepare the state for future federal action if and when it occurs.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Chamber Convenes 06/05/2025 10:30 AM","oneSentenceSummary","Lawmakers voted to extend the deadline for Oregon’s offshore wind roadmap task force to January 2027, keeping stakeholder engagement with tribes, ports, fishing, labor and conservation groups active and giving state actors more time to prepare for any future federal lease activity.","taxTitle","House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17188,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6210316,"House passes Department of State Police budget after floor debate on staffing and equipment",544,2985000,3529000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3720433-f14c9d4d7f27e0cf43fcc9bbd3c42992&start=2985&end=3529","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3720433-f14c9d4d7f27e0cf43fcc9bbd3c42992/thumbnail_2985000.jpg","/articles/6210316/Oregon/House-passes-Department-of-State-Police-budget-after-floor-debate-on-staffing-and-equipment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210316-125bdab6ef742aee0e083d99def17790/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164715&Signature=kWJJFQyfFuV9lzxz8TfjY7iAfLmZeejwZLD4CC~~dXTr-gg-ADpbJM4Bl9o5yc7hSZ0y5zS34lXrg4qiJr9iz4vi3en1azCvpZr4c6xfMhhQx8XW6H2C2X3bctHYeSQ3206roUAU-u~eOVgbq-FaAeqYLCBB2kfXvKrEXEMg5j4wRITktFwWeWm6a28aAMtCss3WU8WIFEb50RkRva1kuYBLXxsfXqAyg7VHRIbbLEtl-rsUd6X8fcBN1-CWPUjqOax-FTPXC65~uObr3xDhl8pgZKAtuq~cr8vl6aVxg6yoI-fgodzx9NIt7tGcS3KwQHZcAnqyFWc36uRlR7bQeA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oregon House on June 6 passed House Bill 5029, the Department of State Police budget bill, after floor debate that focused on staffing levels, rural coverage and equipment purchases.

Representative Lewis described the bill as the department’s biennial budget and said the Joint Committee on Ways and Means recommended a total‑funds budget of $711,900,000, including $547,900,000 in general fund, $11,900,000 in lottery funds, $135,400,000 in other funds and $16,600,000 in federal funds. The proposal included 1,390 positions and 1,388.52 FTE and was presented as a modest increase from the prior biennium.

Members repeatedly said the state police are under‑resourced for patrol duties, particularly in rural counties. Representative Helfrich, speaking from his experience in law enforcement, warned that understaffing forces prioritization that lets smaller calls escalate. Representative Boyce said \"Public safety is our number one responsibility here\" and urged continued investment in troopers. Several members referenced the department’s low trooper-per‑100,000 population ranking and the need for more highway coverage.

The budget included line items and purchases noted on the floor: an armored vehicle, a bucket truck, a thermal camera, intoxilizers and the addition of a trooper position. Representative Lewis and others urged passage; the bill was carried on third reading and declared passed.

What happens next: the appropriation provides the department with the authorized budget and positions; legislators signaled an intent to revisit staffing as needs evolve and to pursue additional investments in future sessions.","The House approved House Bill 5029, the Department of State Police budget, after members voiced concern about staffing shortfalls in rural areas and supported investments including new equipment and a trooper position.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6210321,"House approves Oregon Youth Authority budget amid scrutiny of past misconduct and oversight needs",725,3720000,4445000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3720433-f14c9d4d7f27e0cf43fcc9bbd3c42992&start=3720&end=4445","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3720433-f14c9d4d7f27e0cf43fcc9bbd3c42992/thumbnail_3720000.jpg","/articles/6210321/Oregon/House-approves-Oregon-Youth-Authority-budget-amid-scrutiny-of-past-misconduct-and-oversight-needs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210321-1d1c0518e98ba543650833a100295e38/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164715&Signature=oznyCBDzdfbCwSciILmr7TlaNq7c~JW4TZKxQzjzIDrl2bMyRv2jAF2h54HwT9Kp5aFIny1UNW4xoP8bP2n6f0nterRxTJ2x1EXrPEpqOWH8A-rZrrTgryhVDFGyt6Fcupwa9qfk-4~n9qeno5ykoDS-5GmnTDt5h9ZDDkfatLLnWOI6j-v6zjs1EON8NYBBFh1VLLjHr89MVwxr-N2tqejXKlo8JGIplGcfP-2lgNmaWMUgN6rBLedOPV02aAP6i8nBlsvB6U5rShu-eT5I8wd1cCOAHeFNCedD-N3qpv1bXqMdpL4df8DRh19J-sI4A8ZoC4sI6Vly4oZhJDMI4A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oregon House on June 6 approved House Bill 5041, the biennial budget for the Oregon Youth Authority, after members described ongoing investigations and pressed for stronger oversight of youth custody facilities.

Representative Evans, carrying the bill, told colleagues the joint Ways and Means recommendation is for $518,812,257 in total funds and 1,006 positions. He described the agency as having had \"clear wrongdoing on the part of people who have been there in the past,\" and said the governor appointed leadership to \"clean up the mess.\" The bill passed on final reading after floor discussion and a closing statement from the bill carrier.

Lawmakers from both parties framed the funding vote as a response to significant agency failures reported publicly in recent months. Representative Evans said Oregon has a \"moral obligation to take care of those that are in our custody\" and described investments to reinstate procedures, strengthen HR integration and professional standards, and review past audits and chain-of-command decisions. Representatives Mannix and Drazen noted the agency’s mission to rehabilitate youth and the need for resources to reduce recidivism and address systemic problems.

Representative Smith declared a potential conflict of interest on the House floor because several family members work for the Oregon Youth Authority and acknowledged she would submit the required written notice. Multiple representatives emphasized that while there were \"bad apples\" in the agency’s past, many staff are hardworking and deserve support as reforms proceed.

The budget includes operational and staffing changes. The bill summary read on the floor notes custody and transitional camp facilities average capacity at 17 youth per living unit; the joint committee included reductions in capital improvement spending and a net-zero package that adds positions and FTE with no new net cost. The Ways and Means subcommittee recommended funding for a Professional Standards Office to address a backlog of cases.

Representative Drazen, who supported the bill in committee, said the investment would allow the agency to address earlier abuses and restore higher standards. Representative Helfrich and others said they would vote for the bill while stressing the need for accountability and continued legislative oversight. The bill was carried on final passage with a bipartisan majority.

Next steps: The enacted budget provides specified funding and direction for the agency; legislators indicated ongoing oversight and follow-up reviews would continue through the public safety committee and subcommittees.","Lawmakers approved the Oregon Youth Authority budget after lengthy floor discussion focused on recent investigations of wrongdoing in youth facilities, new oversight steps, and investments to address staffing and professional standards.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6210326,"House rejects motion to withdraw bill that would require athletic competitions be organized by biological sex",237,2493000,2730000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3720433-f14c9d4d7f27e0cf43fcc9bbd3c42992&start=2493&end=2730","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3720433-f14c9d4d7f27e0cf43fcc9bbd3c42992/thumbnail_2493000.jpg","/articles/6210326/Oregon/House-rejects-motion-to-withdraw-bill-that-would-require-athletic-competitions-be-organized-by-biological-sex","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6210326-b40de72ee2dca8167c508bfb019d2461/orig.mp4?Expires=1771164716&Signature=lJDnxboWcQzGs2GKJAPS3Pgij78f0bfnaweF3spDNt2DzhcRN2eGCfSGYa9wzrIsaB~32L131~YrBcezLhR~aIB0P7DHGoJOvxoliRhlAD~CYlf2TLaDAzcdb1ooM7gxhBipLwg-B51~~M5MKmrXGgeajOjNuiZ-bXgglMmJ~o37eq39LgWURZsqNTMUNYjr5OI1RNPc2EfgbmfNVk33oBbU9t6ied~F3cuw2MVyUBgh6XrOi1z5z7J0iPtJtoNW2V03w99dQ2QNzHnwFTgSC0hVJ3-ygX6bVb8xOQBc7lXOg4-QcTD8-J4iiXrn3M1orzCHW6ffUyOS1QwV3Sj46Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","House members on June 6 declined a motion to withdraw House Bill 2037 from the Committee on Education, leaving the measure that would require athletic competitions and related facilities to be designated by biological sex in active committee status.

The clerk read the bill’s title and summary into the record before the nondebatable motion. Representative Wright moved that \"House Bill 2037 be withdrawn from the committee on education.\" The presiding officer determined the motion did not receive the required majority and declared it failed.

The bill as read to the chamber would require each athletic association, conference or organization with authority over interscholastic, intercollegiate or other extracurricular sports to designate competitions by biological sex; it would prohibit biological males from participating in competitions or extracurricular sports designated for biological females, and it includes provisions about bathrooms and locker rooms and a private cause of action for students and institutions. Representative Wright made the withdrawal motion under rules described in the House, noting that the motion to withdraw is governed by house rules and is not debatable.

Lawmakers offered extended remonstrances and defenses from both sides after the bill title was read. Representative Nos spoke in defense of transgender constituents, saying, \"Trans constituents have voting rights, speech rights, and I believe ... transgender athletes deserve to compete.\" Representative Drazen quoted a student, saying, \"I've had biological men in my locker rooms, and it is scary,\" and urged attention to the student perspective. Representative Scharf recounted a student athlete’s experience and emphasized the effect on scholarships and recruiting if female athletes compete against biological males. Representative Dio, Representative Harvick and Representative Wright argued the bill was about fairness in female sports. Representative Hudson highlighted that the bill’s language also addressed bathrooms and locker rooms and warned of practical consequences in schools.

Several members said they sought a public hearing on the subject; some members said that request had not been granted. Representative Harvick said Republicans had asked for a public hearing and had not received one. Other members urged careful, respectful forums for the dispute. The motion to withdraw being defeated means House Bill 2037 remained in committee rather than being pulled back to the floor for further immediate action.

What happens next: no further floor action was recorded in the transcript. The bill remains in the Committee on Education, and members on both sides said they want further hearings or stakeholder engagement before any final resolution.

","Lawmakers debated House Bill 2037 — which would require athletic competitions, locker rooms and bathrooms to be designated by biological sex and prohibit biological males from competing in events designated for biological females — and a motion to withdraw the bill from the Committee on Education failed on the House floor.","actionData","errors"]
