Senate rules committee advances bill to repeal 2024 ballot requirement on labor peace agreements
Summary
In a brief work session, the Senate Committee on Rules voted to move House Bill 41 62 — a repeal of Ballot Measure 119 (2024) that required certain OLCC licensees to enter labor peace agreements — to the floor with a 'new pass' recommendation.
The Senate Committee on Rules on Wednesday moved House Bill 41 62 to the floor with a "new pass" recommendation after a short work session and roll call.
Staff summarized HB 41 62 as a repeal of Ballot Measure 119 (2024), which required certain licensees of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission to enter into labor peace agreements with labor organizations representing their employees. Committee staff told members the measure carries no fiscal or revenue impact. An unidentified committee member moved the bill to the floor with the committee's recommendation. A roll call showed affirmative responses from Senators Golden, Manning, Thacker, Vice Chair Starr and the named chair in the roll call; no opposing votes were recorded in the hearing transcript.
The chair closed the work session and asked whether anyone would carry the measure; a committee member volunteered to do so. The committee then proceeded to public hearings on other bills on the agenda.
The committee did not take additional public testimony on HB 41 62 during the recorded work session. The next formal step is the full Senate floor consideration of the committee-recommended bill.
