Lobby Day 2025 & BEyond - We’re still alive folks!

Our lobbying efforts at the state capitol were successful, and no bills have died in committee at the time of this posting. : Leslie, Ross and Debbie testified at the public hearing a few Mondays ago for bills SB322 and S3.23. You can listen to them on the OLIS website. Nine OSTA members submitted written testimony for these bills within 48 hours after the public hearing; twelve in support, and only three letters were in opposition, none from OSTA, of course!

Next Steps: OSTA needs a work session scheduled by March 21, 2025 - Please email Senator Frederick: sen.lewfrederick@oregonlegislature.gov and his Chief of Staff: Nathan Soltz: nathan.soltz@oregonlegislature.gov
