Senate approves majority and minority nominees to Committee on Conduct; clerk records 29 ayes
Summary
The Oregon Senate approved en bloc nominations for majority- and minority-party members and alternate members of the Senate Committee on Conduct. The clerk recorded 29 ayes with Senator Brock Smith excused for both en bloc votes.
The Oregon Senate on the floor approved en bloc nominations for majority- and minority-party members and alternate members of the Senate Committee on Conduct, the body announced during Wednesday's session.
Majority leader Senator Jama nominated Senator Prozewski and Senator Woods as the majority party members, with Senators Boardman, Golden and Butterson named as majority-party alternates. Minority leader Senator Bonham nominated Senator Anderson and Senator Weber as the minority party members, and Senators Bonham, Robinson and Brock Smith as minority-party alternates. President Wagner called for the roll on both en bloc nominations and the clerk reported the outcome.
The clerk announced the results after the roll calls: 29 ayes; Senator Brock Smith was recorded as excused. The nominations were approved.
The nominations were made under the legislative branch personnel rule referenced on the floor and the governor's previously submitted executive appointments (the clerk noted distribution to members and publication on OLIS). No amendments or debate were recorded on the floor on the nominations; senators voiced support when prompted during the roll call.
The approvals place the named senators on the Senate Committee on Conduct. The committee handles matters of member conduct and related referrals. The Senate adjourned after completing the day's business and scheduling the next floor session.
