Republicans Won't Return to Convene Oregon State Legislature Republicans Won't Return to Convene Oregon State Legislature Other bills in limbo-- Legislative leaders and the governor have priority bills on the chopping block that have already passed the House of Representatives, including bills that would: Refer a tobacco tax increase to voters; allow undocumented immigrants to get driver's licenses; create a paid family medical leave program; modify the death penalty; and change housing zoning laws to allow for more affordable housing. All horrible bills.
