House advances package of bills on third reading; re‑refers one bill to committee

The Oregon House on the floor passed multiple bills on third reading and re‑referred one bill back to committee to secure missing paperwork.

Among bills passed were: HB 24 60 A (municipal and justice court appellate reforms), HB 24 61 (modifying notice for remote testimony in civil cases), HB 28 19 A (authorizing fire wardens and designated representatives to investigate and cite certain violations during elevated fire danger), HB 30 63 (ensuring students in hospital education programs remain enrolled in their home districts), and HB 35 05 A (prohibiting certain system development charges for residential fire sprinkler installation that meet NFPA 13D standards). Each bill was announced by the clerk as having "received the constitutional majority" and declared passed; individual roll call tallies were not printed in the transcript.

Separately, HB 29 78 A (a natural resources bill) was re‑referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Land Use, Natural Resources and Water after the floor learned that a Legislative Revenue Office statement was missing from the bill packet.

Front‑line speakers on these floor actions included Representative Osborne, who moved to suspend the Rule requiring section‑by‑section reading for a set of bills so they could be read by title only; Representative Mannix for HB 24 60 A; Representative Anderson for HB 24 61; Representative Tran for HB 28 19 A; Representative Neron for HB 30 63; and Representative Fragula for HB 35 05 A. Representative Helm closed debate on the motion to re‑refer HB 29 78 A back to committee.

The clerk formally opened the voting system for each final passage; the transcript records that the constitutional majority was achieved for each listed bill but does not provide roll call counts in the floor record excerpt.

Ending: The House completed first, second and third readings and then moved to other business and remonstrances before adjourning until the date announced by leadership.
