The Oregon State Senate approved an en bloc motion to confirm and reappoint a long list of the governor's nominees to state boards and commissions, covering subjects from higher education and criminal justice to licensing and parks.

Senator Jama moved to "confirm and block" the appointments in order to consider multiple boards and commissions as a single item. The motion listed dozens of nominees (including appointments to the Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission, State Board of Chiropractic Examiners, Oregon Criminal Justice Commission, higher education coordinating commission, and the public employee retirement board). Senators urged colleagues to support the nominees as "dedicated Oregonians" willing to serve on boards and commissions.

During the roll call the clerk recorded several named nays on the floor; the President then announced that the governor's appointments and reappointments were confirmed en bloc (the floor announcement recorded "24 ayes"). Several individual nominees later proceeded to separate motions and votes.

Senator Star used a subsequent floor statement to urge the executive branch to reach out to Senate minority members when advancing nominees so that appointees reflect broader geographic and political input. The Senate concluded the en bloc action and moved on to separate confirmations that required individual roll calls.
