80th Legislative Assembly 

2020 Session Volume 1	 	

 	

THE SPRINT OF THE SHORT SESSION	

The Short Session is a fast-paced event, lasting 35 days. The first day of session is like jumping into the Santiam River in January. In this 2020 Session each Representative was allowed to present 2 bill ideas, Senators were allowed 1 bill, whereas committees were permitted 3 bills. Legislators are able to sign on to bills at any point during session, so you may see that I am both a Chief Sponsor and Sponsor of more than 2 bills.	

TIMBERUNITY RALLY @ THE CAPTIOL	

Thank you to all our working Oregonians who came out to protest climate bills and other legislation that will threaten their livelihoods. It felt more like a backyard party than a protest

HB 4126	

We’re roughly halfway through session and both my bills continue to move steadily through the legislative process. In particular, House Bill 4126 advanced to the House Committee on Rules where a clarifying amendment will be considered before it hopefully advances to the Floor for a vote. HB 4126 is intended to provide law enforcement a new tool when enforcing riot laws by increasing penalties when rioters are wearing masks. It protects free speech while strengthening penalties for those committing an existing crime.
