During its Wednesday business session the House Committee on Housing and Homelessness adopted amendments and advanced three bills.

House Bill 2,139 (with -2 amendment) was adopted in amendment and moved to the floor with a "do pass" recommendation and referral to the Joint Committee on Ways and Means. The dash-2 amendment directs the Housing and Community Services Department to make grants to federally recognized Indian tribes in Oregon for affordable housing, rental and down payment assistance, emergency shelter and related homelessness services. The committee recorded a roll-call vote with all members present voting aye; the motion passed.

House Bill 23 47 (dash-2 amendments adopted) was moved to the House floor with a "do pass" recommendation. The bill authorizes the Department of Land Conservation and Development to provide technical assistance and grants to federally recognized tribes and to local governments and allows state or local agencies to substitute terms to harmonize land use laws. Committee members voted aye and the motion passed; a committee member volunteered to carry the bill on the floor.

House Bill 3,137 (dash-2 amendments adopted) was also advanced to the floor with a "do pass" recommendation. The bill defines a new term, "managing principal broker," and sets duties for individuals holding that title; the dash-2 amendment amended the definition to include principal real estate brokers who assume responsibility for a business's name. The committee adopted the amendments and voted to advance the bill; a committee member volunteered to carry the measure on the floor.

Committee clerks called roll on each motion and members recorded aye votes; the chair announced each motion passed. No no-votes or abstentions were recorded in the transcript.
