Aftermath

On May 3, 2023, all but two members of the Republican Senate caucus were absent from the legislative session, preventing a quorum. The walkout ended 43 days later, on June 15, making it the longest in state history. The next-longest walkout lasted nine days in 2019.

At the outset of the walkout, Minority Leader Tim Knopp (R) said Democrats broke chamber rules on the plain wording of bills. "When the majority of bill summaries written demand a post-graduate degree to understand what the bills do, we disenfranchise Oregonians across the state and violate the law in the process," he said. Majority Leader Kate Lieber (D) said Republicans walked out because of the content of the bills. "It is no coincidence that Republicans are employing these embarrassing antics as the Senate is about to vote on bills that protect reproductive health freedom and establish common sense gun safety laws," she said.

The walkout ended after Democrats and Republicans reached a series of compromises on bills and chamber rules:

• House Bill 2002 dealt with abortion access and medical treatments for transgender adults and minors. Initially, the bill allowed minors under the age of 14 to receive an abortion without parental consent. In the compromise, those minors still retained that ability, but only after an assessment from a healthcare provider. The compromise bill also removed provisions funding reproductive healthcare and abortion access centers in rural communities and on public university campuses. The provisions regarding medical treatments for transgender adults and minors was not substantively changed.

• House Bill 2005 dealt with firearm laws. Initially, it prohibited the construction of unserialized and untraceable firearms, raised the purchase age for firearms in most cases from 18 to 21, and allowed local governments to prohibit firearms in public spaces. The compromise bill retained the prohibition on the construction of unserialized and untraceable firearms.

• Readability laws were mentioned throughout the walkout, with Republican senators saying bills before that chamber did not comply with a 1979 law, which KGW8's Jamie Parfitt described as "a long-forgotten law requiring that bill summaries be readable at an 8th-grade level as established by the Flesch readability test." In a statement released following the walkout, Republicans wrote they had secured guarantees that "bill summaries will be redrafted to comply with House Rules, Senate Rules, Oregon statute, and the state Oregon Constitution."

On June 1, during the walkout, Senate Democrats voted to fine members $325 every day their absence prevented a quorum, the same amount as each senator's per diem allowance. Following the walkout, Senate President Rob Wagner (D) indicated the rule would remain in place.

In 2022, voters approved Measure 113, a ballot measure that makes legislators ineligible to be re-elected to a subsequent term if they accrue 10 or more unexcused absences. By the end of the walkout, 10 lawmakers involved met that threshold:

• Sen. Brian Boquist (I)
• Sen. Daniel Bonham (R)
• Sen. Lynn Findley (R)
• Sen. Bill Hansell (R)
• Sen. Cedric Hayden (R)
• Sen. Dennis Linthicum (R)
• Sen. Tim Knopp (R)
• Sen. Art Robinson (R)
• Sen. Kim Thatcher (R)
• Sen. Suzanne Weber (R)

On August 8, Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade (D) announced an administrative rule clarifying that any lawmaker with 10 or more unexcused absences during the 2023 session would be unable to run for re-election in 2024. On August 25, Sens. Bonham, Weber, Findley, Knopp, and Linthicum filed a lawsuit challenging that rule. In a February 1, 2024, ruling, the Oregon Supreme Court said that the 10 senators could not run for re-election, upholding the secretary of state's August 8 administrative rule.

In a separate lawsuit filed in federal court, Sens. Boquist and Linthicum argued that the walkout was constitutionally protected free speech. On December 13, 2023, U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken rejected the argument, while a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed her decision on February 29, 2024. The judges said, "Actions have consequences. When those actions might be described as expressive in nature, the First Amendment sometimes protects us from the repercussions that follow. This is not one of those instances." As of March 4, 2024, Ballotpedia did not identify a response from Sens. Boquist and Linthicum.

Measure design

See also: Text of measure

Measure 113 amended the Oregon Constitution to disqualify state legislators from re-election following the end of their term if they are absent from 10 legislative floor sessions without permission or excuse. The 10 absences would be deemed disorderly behavior. This applied to both legislative attendance during regular and special legislative sessions.

At the time of the election, the state constitution authorized legislative chambers to punish disorderly conduct, including legislative absenteeism, with a two-thirds supermajority vote. Punishment could include the expulsion of a member.

Text of measure

Ballot title

The certified ballot title for Measure 113 was:

“

Amends Constitution: Legislators with ten unexcused absences from floor sessions disqualified from holding next term of office Result of 'Yes' Vote: 'Yes' vote disqualifies legislators with ten unexcused absences from legislative floor sessions from holding office as legislator for term following current term of office. Result of 'No' Vote: 'No' vote retains existing law. Absent legislators may be punished by legislative chamber (potentially expelled by supermajority); present legislators have legal authority to compel attendance.

”

Ballot summary

The certified ballot summary for Measure 113 was:

“

Amends Oregon Constitution to add language prescribing consequences for unexcused absences by legislators from floor sessions. Currently, Senators and Representatives may be 'punished' or, by the concurrence of two-thirds of the Senator’s or Representative’s chamber, 'expelled' for 'disorderly behavior,' but law does not define 'disorderly behavior.' Additionally, absent legislators may be 'compelled' to attend legislative floor sessions, but current law does not specify consequences for unexcused absences. Measure specifies that 'disorderly behavior' includes legislator’s failure to attend ten or more legislative floor sessions during a regular or special legislative session without permission or excuse. Under measure, legislator who engages in 'disorderly behavior' through unexcused absences is disqualified from serving as a Senator or Representative for the term following the end of the legislator’s current term.

”

Constitutional changes

The ballot measure amended section 15 of Article IV of the Oregon Constitution. The following underlined text was added:

Section 15. Punishment and expulsion of members. Either house may punish its members for disorderly behavior, and may with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member; but not a second time for the same cause. Failure to attend, without permission or excuse, ten or more legislative floor sessions called to transact business during a regular or special legislative session shall be deemed disorderly behavior and shall disqualify the member from holding office as a Senator or Representative for the term following the election after the member’s current term is completed.

Arguments

• Oregon Education Association President Reed Scott-Schwalbach: "It’s long past time that there were rules in place to make sure politicians show up to do their jobs. The Hold Politicians Accountable measure will make sure that there are finally consequences for politicians who violate their oath of office and desert their post."
• Senate Majority Leader Rob Wagner (D): "We haven’t been able to solve this problem legislatively for obvious reasons – they would likely walk out if we tried to refer something. So I’m following the lead of community advocates who have put this proposal forward."
• AFSCME Council 75 Associate Director Joe Baessler: "Oregonians just understand it on its face. You don’t show up for work without a reason and you lose your job like anyone else. That makes it super popular and fair, and so it will pass."
• Tan Perkins, Vote Yes On 113 campaign: "No matter who you are, where you live, or where you stand on the political issue of the day, we can all agree on one thing: We expect politicians to do the jobs we sent them to Salem to do: Vote on bills and represent the people who elect them. Today, there are ZERO consequences for politicians who don't show up to their jobs in Salem. Some politicians are taking unfair advantage of this loophole. But by voting YES on Measure 113, we can come together to create real consequences for politicians who want special treatment when they skip work."

Support

Ballotpedia did not identify media editorial boards in support of the ballot measure.

• Yambill County's News-Register Editorial Board: "Discouraging use of legislative walkouts as a last resort exercise of minority opposition, without barring it outright, also seems reasonable. ... [A]n emphatic yes on 112 and 113."
• Portland Tribune Editorial Board: "Yes ... We wish it wasn't necessary to change the constitution to ensure that elected officials do the job they were elected (and paid) to do. Ordinarily, we'd be inclined to say that voters, not the constitution, should be the safeguard against bad behavior. However, given the hyper-partisanship that is impacting state and national politics, the all-or-nothing political calculus will dominate any divisive issue. So, long, protracted walkouts will be a tempting tactic."
• The Corvallis Advocate Editorial Board: "We’re voting 'Yes' on this, because we strongly believe that the people of Oregon have elected representation that can talk through their disagreements with the people on the other side of the aisle. As no small aside, both parties have conducted walkouts when they’ve found themselves in the minority, and we don’t care which party is in power, we’d like an end to this practice."
• Eugene Weekly Editorial Board: "Measure 113, YES. ... Having a majority in the Oregon Legislature doesn’t mean a party has control. Oregon requires a quorum of legislators, meaning a simple majority of the elected politicians must be present to pass a vote. In the past, party members have walked out and not shown up. Coordinated Republican absences led the 2020 session to end with numerous unresolved issues. This measure means if legislators don’t show up, they don’t get to run for their office the next time."
• Portland Mercury Editorial Board: "Measure 113 allows lawmakers to still use walkouts as a threat to legislative progress while still incentivizing collaboration across the aisle. We support Measure 113 as a technique to keep lawmakers doing the job we pay them to do, while still allowing them to wild out every so often. For accountability and maturity in the state legislature, vote for Measure 113."

Opposition

• The Oregonian Editorial Board: "Measure 113 would further tilt power to the majority party and would diminish voters’ ability to choose who represents them in the Legislature. Oregonians should vote 'no.'"

Background

Legislative walkouts

See also: Noteworthy state legislative walkouts

Several times in recent decades, members of a minority party left the state capitol or the state entirely to prevent the passage of legislation. This is a state legislative walkout. State legislatures require a specific number of members to be present in order to conduct official business, such as debating or voting on legislation. The minimum number of members required to conduct official business is a quorum. While a lack of quorum can occur due to unexpected events, such as illness or inclement weather, it can also be used as a political tactic.

Quorum requirement

A quorum requirement is the number of legislators in attendance needed to conduct official business as laid out in state constitutions. In Oregon at the time of the election, the quorum requirement was two-thirds of legislators in each chamber.

Of the 50 states, 45 states require a majority of legislators present for a quorum as of 2022. Four states require two-thirds of legislators to be present for a quorum. Massachusetts requires two-fifths of state senators or three-eighths of state representatives to be present for quorum.

History of legislative walkouts in Oregon

Ballotpedia tracked five noteworthy legislative walkouts in Oregon, where legislators left the state for at least a week or received significant national media attention. The legislative walkouts occurred in 2001, 2019, 2020, and 2021.

2021

February

Party in control of chamber: Democratic Party

Legislators needed for quorum: 20

Partisan balance at time of walkout: 18 - 11 - 1

Topic being considered at time of walkout: COVID-19 policies

Status of walkout: Ended

Resolution: Republicans returned to chamber

On Feb. 25, 2021, all 11 members of the Republican Senate caucus were absent from the legislative session and sent a letter to Gov. Kate Brown (D) saying the governor had ignored their proposals related to COVID-19. "Our previous efforts to bring these issues to your attention have gone unacknowledged. Thus, we are protesting today’s floor session. In this show of solidarity with Oregonians who are being failed by the current direction of your policies, we hope this action conveys the importance of these issues," the group wrote. The Oregonian reported that Republicans wanted Brown to reopen schools and increase vaccine availability to older residents in more rural areas.

The walkout ended on March 2, 2021. Senate Minority Leader Fred Girod (R) said that the walkout accomplished his goals of highlighting the issues of school reopenings and vaccinations.

September

Party in control of chamber: Democratic Party

Legislators needed for quorum: 40

Partisan balance at time of walkout: 37 - 23

Topic being considered at time of walkout: Redistricting

Status of walkout: Ended

Resolution: Republicans returned to chamber

On September 25, 2021, Republican members of the House did not join a session discussing the redistricting plan for the state's congressional districts. Thirty-four legislators were present, with 40 needed for a quorum. Of those absent, 18 had excused absences and eight did not. The Republicans returned to the chamber on September 27, establishing a quorum. The House passed the redistricting plan the same day.

2020

Party in control of chamber: Democratic Party

Legislators needed for quorum: 20

Partisan balance at time of walkout: 18 - 12

Topic being considered at time of walkout: SB 1530 cap-and-trade legislation

Status of walkout: Ended

Resolution: Legislation killed, executive order

On Feb. 24, 2020, 11 of the 12 Republican members of the Oregon State Senate did not attend the regularly-scheduled morning Senate floor session amid disagreements on SB 1530, a bill to cap greenhouse gas emissions. Democrats held 18 seats, two short of the 20 members needed for a quorum. In a statement, Senate minority leader Herman Baertschiger, Jr. said, "Instead of referring this legislation to let the people decide, the Democrats are willfully ignoring 26 counties and one district, representing nearly 2 million Oregonians that have signed proclamations against cap and trade, to push their agenda.” Senate majority leader Ginny Burdick (D) wrote, "I am infuriated that Republicans are walking off the job while collecting a salary, receiving benefits, and even a daily per diem. ... We must acknowledge the walkout for what it is: subversion of democracy and a dereliction of duty. To call walking out on your oath of office 'leadership' is insulting."

The final day of the legislative session was March 8. On March 5, Senate President Peter Courtney (D) and House Speaker Tina Kotek (D) adjourned their respective chambers early due to the lack of quorum. On March 8, Republicans returned to the Senate, ending the walkout without the passage of SB 1530.

On March 10, Gov. Kate Brown (D) signed Executive Order No. 20-04 on greenhouse gas emissions, which, according to Jurist's M. Tyler Gillet, "largely imposes the same measures that the senate bill would have achieved." Brown's office said the legislature was "incapable of acting ... and that the executive branch is the only branch capable of acting on climate."

2019

Party in control of chamber: Democratic Party

Legislators needed for quorum: 20

Partisan balance at time of walkout: 18 - 11

Topic being considered at time of walkout: HB 2020 cap-and-trade legislation

Status of walkout: Ended

Resolution: Legislation killed

On June 20, 2019, the 11 Republican members of the Oregon State Senate did not come to a scheduled legislative session amid disagreements on a cap-and-trade climate bill. Democrats held 18 seats, two short of the 20 members needed for quorum. In a statement following the walkout, Republicans said they believed the bill should be referred to the ballot rather than decided by the legislature.

Gov. Kate Brown (D) directed state police to find the Republican senators and bring them back to the capitol. In response, the Republican senators traveled to Idaho and Montana, out of the state police's jurisdiction. Brown said she would not negotiate with Republicans until they returned to the capitol to conduct legislative business.

On June 25, 2019, Senate President Peter Courtney announced that Democrats did not have the votes in order to pass HB 2020. The Republican senators returned to the capitol on June 29, 2019, ending the state legislative walkout after nine days.

2001

Party in control of chamber: Republican Party

Legislators needed for quorum: 40

Partisan balance at time of walkout: 27 - 32 - 1

Topic being considered at time of walkout: Congressional redistricting plan

Status of walkout: Ended

Resolution: Redistricting plan killed

In June 2001, 25 Democratic members of the Oregon House of Representatives did not come to a scheduled legislative session in order to prevent Republicans from passing their redistricting plan as a resolution, rather than a bill. A resolution, unlike a bill, would not have been subject to a veto by Democratic Gov. John Kitzhaber. Republicans held 32 seats, eight short of the 40 members needed for quorum.

Democrats ignored summons to return to the capitol, staying away for five days. By the time they returned, it was too late for Republicans to pass the resolution due to the redistricting deadline on June 30. Because the deadline was not met, the task fell to Democratic Secretary of State Bill Bradbury.

Path to the ballot

See also: Laws governing the initiative process in Oregon

The state process

In Oregon, the number of signatures required to qualify an initiated constitutional amendment for the ballot is equal to 8 percent of the votes cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election. Signatures for Oregon initiatives must be submitted four months prior to the next regular general election. State law also requires paid signature gatherers to submit any signatures they gather every month.

Moreover, Oregon is one of several states that require a certain number of signatures to accompany an initiative petition application. The signatures of at least 1,000 electors are required to trigger a review by state officials, a period of public commentary, and the drafting of a ballot title. Prior to gathering these initial 1,000 signatures, petitioners must submit the text of the measure, a form disclosing their planned use of paid circulators, and a form designating up to three chief petitioners.

The requirements to get an initiated constitutional amendment certified for the 2022 ballot:

• Signatures: 149,360 valid signatures were required.
• Deadline: The deadline to submit signatures was July 8, 2022.

In Oregon, signatures are verified using a random sample method. If a first round of signatures is submitted at least 165 days before an election and contains raw, unverified signatures at least equal to the minimum requirement, but verification shows that not enough of the submitted signatures are valid, additional signatures can be submitted prior to the final deadline.

Details about this initiative

• Andrea Kennedy-Smith and Reed Scott-Schwalbach filed this petition and Fines for Legislative Absenteeism Initiative on December 21, 2020.
• On May 6, 2021, the sponsors submitted 1,000 sponsorship signatures for verification.
• On January 7, 2022, the initiative was cleared for signature gathering.
• On May 27, 2022, the campaign filed 184,680 unverified signatures with the secretary of state.
• On July 5, 2022, the secretary of state reported that 155,343 signatures were valid. The initiative qualified for the ballot.

Cost per required signature

Sponsors of the measure hired The Outreach Team to collect signatures for the petition to qualify this measure for the ballot. A total of $1,314,649.83 was spent to collect the 149,360 valid signatures required to put this measure before voters, resulting in a total cost per required signature (CPRS) of $8.80.
