Representative Bossert Davis flags petition to refer parts of HB 3991; special committee to hold hearing
Summary
Representative Bossert Davis said about 250,000 Oregonians signed a petition requesting parts of House Bill 3991 be placed on the November ballot and noted a special committee public hearing was scheduled the same day for petition ID 20206302.
Representative Bossert Davis told colleagues on Feb. 9 that he placed a floor letter reminding the House that "250,000 Oregonians signed these particular sheets" seeking to refer parts of House Bill 3991 to the November ballot. He said the special committee formed to consider the petition (ID 20206302) would hold a public hearing that day at 1 p.m.
Bossert Davis urged members to respect the petitioners' requested timing, saying changing the timing would be "going against the people's voice." He warned colleagues to "think twice" before making changes that would alter petitioners' expectations about placement on the November ballot. The remark recorded the petition and its scheduled hearing; no floor vote or committee outcome was announced during the session.
The citation and petition ID were announced on the floor for member awareness.
