Oregon House lawmakers will start holding floor votes on bills the week of March 8, after conducting most work in online hearings due to the pandemic and only meeting in-person once a week to introduce bills.
House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, announced during a briefing with reporters Monday that the lower chamber will meet on Mondays and Tuesdays “to start moving some bills,” although daily floor sessions will not commence until April.
