Legislative sessions • Convene annually in February • May not exceed 160 days in odd-numbered years and 35 days in even-numbered years. • In odd years, the Legislature convenes in January, to swear-in newly elected officials, elect legislative leaders, adopt rules, organize and appoint committees, and begin introducing bills

  6. Role of the Legislature Primary functions of the Legislature: • Enact new laws and revise existing ones • Responsible for the state’s biennial budget • Establishes priorities and sets public policy Everything you ever wanted to know is on OLIS: https://olis.leg.state.or.us

  7. How a bill begins • Idea • Drafting by Legislative Counsel • Legislative Concept • Introduced, aka “dropped” • First reading • Referred to Committee by Leadership • Committee Action

  8. Committees • Shape legislation and public policy • Consider testimony during public hearings • Consider amendments • Hold work sessions / vote • Subsequent referral • Policy Committee • Health • Human Services • Ways and Means

  9. How a bill moves • Bill is introduced on House or Senate floor and read for the first time • Assigned to a committee (House or Senate Health Care) • Committee holds public hearings/work sessions (send to floor with recommendation to pass) • Second/Third reading, debate • Vote in chamber of origin • Upon Passage, moves to the other chamber • Repeat entire process in second chamber • Governor can sign or veto

  10. Governor’s Recommended Budget • State agencies submit recommendations • Governor releases in December in even-numbered years • Starting point of the conversation around how to fund our government

  11. Legislature’s role in the budget process • Governor’s Recommended Budget outlines the Governor’s priorities, but is only a suggestion • Ways and Means Committee begins to develop the budget in February or March • Legislature ultimately writes and passes the state budget

  12. State agency bills (legislative concepts) • Agency concepts must be approved by the agency director, Department of Administrative Services, and the Governor’s Office. • The Governor introduces all agency legislative concepts.
