Establishing deadlines for completion of legislative measures for 2023 regular session of Eighty-second Legislative Assembly.
Impact
By outlining specific deadlines, HCR23 impacts various aspects of the legislative process in Oregon, including the timing of work sessions and the consideration of measures in both chambers. These deadlines are particularly significant for ensuring that all legislative measures are addressed within the designated session timeframe, thereby promoting a more structured legislative environment. Additionally, the resolution includes provisions that specify exceptions for certain committees, such as the Joint Committee on Ways and Means, indicating a tailored approach to legislative scheduling.
Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 23 (HCR23) establishes a set of deadlines and procedural guidelines for the 2023 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly. The resolution is intended to ensure that the legislative process runs smoothly and efficiently by setting clear timelines for when the Senate and House of Representatives should convene, submit drafts of measures, and schedule committee work sessions. It aims to facilitate better organization and time management within the legislative framework.
Contention
Although HCR23 is a procedural resolution and does not introduce a substantive law or policy change, it has sparked discussions regarding legislative efficiency and transparency. Some members may argue that the established deadlines could either streamline the legislative process or, conversely, restrict the flexibility needed for thorough deliberation on complex measures. This highlights a potential tension between efficiency in legislative operations and the necessity for extensive debate and consideration that certain bills may require.
