Senate Rules Committee gives due-pass recommendation to bill adding U.S. Space Force to state statutes
Summary
A Senate Rules Committee work session advanced House Bill 3968, which would add the U.S. Space Force to Oregon statutes that currently name other armed forces. The committee recommended the bill be referred to the floor with a "do pass" recommendation after a brief staff summary and a unanimous recorded vote in the work session.
Chair Jama opened a work session on House Bill 3968, which would add the U.S. Space Force to various Oregon statutes that already name other U.S. armed forces.
Leslie, a committee staff member, summarized the measure as having "a minimal fiscal impact and minimal revenue impact." The committee took the item as a work session and moved the bill to the floor with a due-pass recommendation.
A roll call during the work session recorded the following votes: Senator Holden — Aye; Senator Manning — Aye; Senator Patrick — Aye; Vice Chair Bonham — Aye; Judge Chenforth — Aye. The chair announced the motion passes and asked Vice Chair Bonham to carry the bill to the floor.
No substantive debate on the policy merits was recorded in the transcript; the committee handled the measure as a brief work session following the staff summary.
The committee closed the work session on HB 3968 and proceeded to the next item on the agenda.
