Oregon 2023 Legislative Session

Southern Oregon Climate Action Now has annually followed bills introduced to the Oregon Legislature that relate to climate.  This year, some 4,000 proposals are  expected.  We are currently exploring those that have been filed to date and deciding which to promote and which to oppose.

Many of us will be following bills and giving testimony on those we wish to see passed or rejected.  The best way to keep track of bills is via the Oregon Legislative Information System (OLIS). For a brief introduction to OLIS visit What’s an OLIS?

For tips on contributing oral and written testimony visit Testimony Tips.
