Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: Asks voters to say yes or no to adding a day to the length of a regular session for each day that the Senate or the House fails to get a quorum after trying to do so. Asks voters to decide at the next general election. (Flesch Readability Score: 73.1). Proposes an amendment to the Oregon Constitution to extend the duration of a regular session of the Legislative Assembly by one calendar day for each day that the Senate or the House of Representatives fails to achieve a quorum after attempting to do so. Refers the proposed amendment to the people for their approval or rejection at the next regular general election.

AI Summary

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Oregon Constitution that would automatically extend the length of regular legislative sessions. Currently, odd-numbered year sessions have a limit of 160 days and even-numbered year sessions have a limit of 35 days, though they can be extended by a supermajority vote. This amendment, if approved by voters, would add one calendar day to the session's duration for every day that either the Senate or the House of Representatives fails to achieve a quorum, which is the minimum number of members required to conduct official business, after attempting to do so. The proposed change will be put to a vote of the people at the next general election.
