The '''75th Oregon Legislative Assembly''' convened beginning on {{#formatdate:January 12, 2009}}, for its biennial regular session. All of the 60 seats in the [[Oregon House of Representatives|House of Representatives]] and half of the 30 seats in the [[Oregon State Senate|State Senate]] were up for election in 2008; the general [[2008 Oregon legislative election|election for those seats]] took place on {{#formatdate:November 4}}.

The results:

Senate: Democrats 18 seats, Republicans 12 seats

House: Democrats 36 seats, Republicans 24 seats

[[Democratic Party of Oregon|Democrats]] took control of the Senate in the [[Oregon state elections, 2004|2004 elections]], and of the House in the [[Oregon's statewide elections, 2006|2006 elections]]. The [[Oregon State Senate|Senate]] had been controlled by [[Oregon Republican Party|Republicans]] since 1997 and the [[Oregon House of Representatives|House]] since 1990.{{Citation needed|date=September 2008}}  Many Republican legislators resigned or declined to run for reelection in 2008. Democrats lost one seat in the Senate, and gained five in the House.

The Republican House caucus released an agenda for the 2009 session; priorities included improving economic growth, bringing accountability to [[Government of Oregon|state government]], improving the state's education system, extending health care and extending in-home care for seniors, enhancing public safety, and managing natural resources.<ref name="Republican agenda">[http://www.leg.state.or.us/press_releases/hro_agenda_071608.pdf Oregon House Republicans: Building a better Oregon] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090325012327/http://www.leg.state.or.us/press_releases/hro_agenda_071608.pdf |date=March 25, 2009 }} (2009 agenda)</ref>
House Majority Leader [[Dave Hunt (Oregon politician)|Dave Hunt]] (D–[[Gladstone, Oregon|Gladstone]]) responded to the agenda in July 2008, characterizing it as a departure from the failed policies of the [[George W. Bush administration]], and stating that the problems Republicans seek to solve resulted from 14 years of Republican leadership.<ref name="Hunt">{{cite press release

The legislature, in its 2009 regular session, worked to close a budget shortfall brought on by the [[Late-2000s recession|economic recession]]. One critical factor in the legislature's work is the fact that Democrats hold three fifths of the seats in each chamber, theoretically providing the three-fifths [[supermajority]] support required by the [[Oregon Constitution]] for bills to increase revenue.<ref>[[Oregon Ballot Measure 25 (1996)|Measure 25]], approved by voters in 1996, added the following language to the Oregon Constitution: "''Three-fifths of all members elected to each House shall be necessary to pass bills for raising revenue.''" ([[s:Oregon Constitution/Article IV#Section 25|Art. IV §25(2)]])</ref>

In the effort to balance the budget, bills were passed to raise income taxes on corporations and wealthy individuals and households. This is expected to raise US$733&nbsp;million in revenue over the next two years, which is meant to lessen the need to make spending cuts to state services and programs.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 29, 2009">{{cite news

Opponents led an effort to force a statewide referendum on these increases,<ref name="Statesman Journal July 29, 2009"/> which appeared as [[Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67 (2010)|Measures 66 and 67]] on the {{#formatdate:January 26, 2010|mdy}} special election ballot. They were both passed by voters and will take effect {{#formatdate:February 25, 2010|mdy}}.

The 2009 Legislature passed two major new laws that had been unsuccessfully attempted for several prior years:

The '''Jobs & Transportation Act''' (the largest jobs bill in Oregon history) was passed with funding for the Sunrise Highway Corridor in Clackamas County, Newberg-Dundee Bypass, Woodburn/I-5 Interchange, Highway 62 extension in Medford, Beltline/I-5 Interchange in Eugene, and major new permanent annual road funding for all Oregon cities and counties. The Act also allocated $100 to ConnectOregon to improve air, rail, and marine infrastructure.

The '''Healthy Kids Act''' was passed to provide health insurance to 90,000 uninsured children and 30,000 low-income adults, which resulted in Oregon reducing the number of uninsured children by more than any other state.

== Sessions ==

The [[Oregon Constitution]] requires the Legislative Assembly to hold regular sessions once every two years,<ref>[[s:Oregon Constitution/Article IV#Section 10|Oregon Constitution, Art. IV §10]]: "The sessions of the Legislative Assembly shall be held biennially at the Capitol of the State commencing on the second Monday of September, in the year eighteen hundred and fifty eight, and on the same day of every second year thereafter, unless a different day shall have been appointed by law."</ref>
but the body can hold special sessions called by either the governor or the body itself. Only four other states' legislatures hold regular sessions every other year: [[Montana]], [[Nevada]], [[North Dakota]], and Texas. Until November 2008, [[Arkansas]] was the sixth state.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 6, 2009">{{cite news

In recent years, the Legislative Assembly has considered switching from biennial to annual regular sessions, as recommended by the [[Public Commission on the Oregon Legislature]]. To test the idea, the 74th legislature called itself into a special session in 2008, calling it a "supplemental" session to the regular one in 2007.

Likewise, the current legislative body will hold a supplemental session in 2010, expected to start {{#formatdate:February 1}} and to last four weeks.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 6, 2009"/>
Among other tasks, the legislature plans to refer a [[List of Oregon ballot measures|ballot measure]] to voters to amend the state constitution to permanently change to annual sessions.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 6, 2009"/>
A ballot measure is required because all constitutional amendments must be approved by voters.<ref>[[s:Oregon Constitution/Article XVII#Section 1|Oregon Constitution, Art. XVII §1]]: Any amendment or amendments to this Constitution may be proposed in either branch of the legislative assembly, and if the same shall be agreed to by a majority of all the members elected to each of the two houses, such proposed amendment or amendments shall, with the yeas and nays thereon, be entered in their journals and referred by the secretary of state to the people for their approval or rejection, at the next regular general election, except when the legislative assembly shall order a special election for that purpose...</ref>
The legislature also plans to refer a constitutional amendment to voters to redirect [[kicker (Oregon tax rebate)|tax rebate]] funds into a state reserve, or "rainy day," fund.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 6, 2009"/>

== Notable legislation ==
=== 2009 regular session ===
In the effort to balance the budget, House Bills 2639 and 3405 were passed, raising taxes on corporations, and on wealthy individuals and households, respectively. HB 3405 replaced the corporate minimum tax of $10, paid by two thirds of corporations in Oregon, with a sliding scale: At the bottom of the scale, corporations with sales under $500,000 in Oregon will pay $150; at the top, corporations with sales over $100&nbsp;million will pay $100,000. Corporate income greater than $250,000 will be taxed 7.9 percent for two years, then 7.6 percent afterwards. Corporate income below this threshold will be taxed 6.6 percent. Under HB 2639, taxable income greater than $125,000 for individuals and $250,000 for joint filers will pay a rate of 10.8 percent for the next three years, up from 9 percent; after that, the rate drops to 9.9 percent. Also, income higher than $250,000 for individuals and $500,000 for households will be taxed at 11 percent. These two bills are expected to raise $733&nbsp;million in revenue over the next two years.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 29, 2009"/><ref name="Oregonian June 11, 2009">{{cite news

when Senator [[Mark Hass]] (D–[[Beaverton, Oregon|Beaverton]]), believing the proposed tax increases should be temporary, joined Republicans and voted against HB 3405. Because no Republicans supported the bill, all 18 Democrats were needed to pass the bill, but Hass's rejection left only 17 votes of approval. The Senate tabled both bills and started negotiations. On {{#formatdate:June 11}}, after Hass promised his support of both bills if some revenue from the corporate tax increases were added to the rainy day fund, the Senate voted again and passed both bills.<ref name="Oregonian June 11, 2009"/>
Governor [[Ted Kulongoski]] signed them {{#formatdate:July 20}}, over a month later.

Opponents of these tax increases said they would worsen Oregon's economy, and they led an effort to force a statewide referendum on these increases.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 29, 2009"/>
[[Oregon Ballot Measures 66 and 67 (2010)|Measures 66 and 67]] qualified for the ballot on {{#formatdate:October 8}}, and voters passed both measures on {{#formatdate:January 26, 2010|mdy}}, less than a week before the legislature planned to hold a special session to continue to work on the budget.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 6, 2009"/>

to contrast it with electoral fusion as practiced in states like [[New York (state)|New York]], where each candidate gets a ballot line for each party that endorses them. SB 326 also repealed a 2005 law preventing voters who already participated in a party's nominating process from signing an [[independent (politician)|independent candidate]]'s nomination petition for a partisan office.<ref name="Statesman Journal July 17, 2009"/>
The 2005 law was a response to [[Ralph Nader]]'s [[2004 United States presidential election|2004 US presidential]] [[Ralph Nader presidential campaign, 2004|candidacy]] as an independent, raising concerns among Democrats that similar candidates would hurt their chances of being elected.<ref name="Oregonian July 6, 2009"/>
The law drew criticism when [[Ben Westlund]], then an independent member of the [[Oregon State Senate|state Senate]], [[Oregon gubernatorial election, 2006|ran for governor in 2006]]. He had to wait until after the primary election to start his campaign and verify that the voters who signed his petition hadn't voted in any party's primary.<ref name="Oregonian July 6, 2009"/>

Other significant new laws passed by the 2009 Legislative Session:

'''Jobs & Transportation''': Passed the Jobs and Transportation Act (the largest jobs bill in Oregon history) with funding for the long-awaited Sunrise Highway Corridor in Clackamas County, Newberg-Dundee Bypass, Woodburn/I-5 Interchange, Highway 62 extension in Medford, Beltline/I-5 Interchange in Eugene, and major new road funding for all Oregon cities and counties.  Also allocated $100 to ConnectOregon to improve air, rail, and marine infrastructure.

'''Health Care''': Enacted Healthy Kids Act to provide health insurance to 90,000 uninsured children and 30,000 low-income adults, which resulted in Oregon reducing the number of uninsured children by more than any other state.

'''Education''': Expanded Head Start, Early Head Start, and Relief Nurseries, referred an amendment to the Oregon Constitution to allow state matching funds for K-12 school capital construction (passed by voters as Measure 68 in 2010), and passed record investments in community college facilities on all 17 Oregon campuses.

'''Business Assistance''': Increased loans and created new grant funding for small businesses needing capital, invested in emerging industries, and broadened research and development tax credits.

'''Public Safety''': Restored 24/7 Oregon State Police highway coverage after 15 years of drastic cuts, cracked down on methamphetamine-related metal theft, required DUII offenders to install ignition interlock devices to prevent further drunk driving, protected child abuse funding, and began to shift greater resources to crime prevention.

'''Environment''': Helped businesses and homes become energy efficient, enacted new low carbon fuel standards to improve air quality, and increased protections for Oregon fish and sportfishermen by cracking down on California sea lions.

'''Veterans''': Funded new Veterans Service Officers across Oregon, expanded educational opportunities for veterans, funded an emergency fund for military families, and referred a Constitutional amendment to expand the availability of home loans for veterans (passed by voters as Ballot Measure 70 in 2010).

'''Human Services''': Expanded farmer's market vouchers for low-income families and seniors, provided more school breakfasts and lunches, more summer meals for hungry kids, and Oregon Project Independence for seniors at home.

'''Civil Rights''': Passed the Oregon Workplace Religious Freedom Act to allow greater religious freedom in Oregon workplaces (in 2009) and repealed a 1923 KKK-inspired law that disallowed teachers from wearing religious garb in the classroom (in 2010).

'''Affordable Housing''': The Housing Opportunity Bill created a new trust fund to increase affordable rental housing development, help more Oregonians become home owners, prevent homelessness; and maintain and expand the network of community-based nonprofit housing providers.

'''Fiscal Responsibility''': Required for the first time a pro-active review of Oregon tax breaks each biennium.

'''Legislative Reform''': Reduced the size of the legislative budget and the length of legislative sessions, while increasing public access. Created regular legislative committee days to streamline committee operations during legislative interim periods.  Referred to voters a Constitutional amendment to create permanent annual legislative sessions with strict time limits (passed by voters as Ballot Measure 71 in 2010).

=== 2010 supplemental session ===
On {{#formatdate:January 27, 2010|mdy}}, the day after Measures 66 and 67 passed, Governor Kulongoski said, "It's time to say 'enough' to budgeting from crisis to crisis,"<ref name="Oregonian kicker reform">{{cite news

Instead of sending surplus revenue back to taxpayers as tax rebates, Kulongoski wants surplus revenue to be directed to a state savings account first, commonly described as a "rainy day fund," to help the state balance its budgets during future recessions. House Speaker Hunt said the legislature will focus on jobs, and said kicker reform is "certainly not on the list of definitive things we plan to accomplish."<ref name="Oregonian kicker reform"/>

== Senate members ==
{{see also|Oregon legislative elections, 2008}}
The [[Oregon State Senate]] is composed of 18 Democrats and 12 Republicans. In the last elections, the Democratic Party lost one seat: District 27, in the [[Bend, Oregon|Bend]] area. Democrat [[Ben Westlund]], a former Republican, left that seat to seek the statewide [[Oregon State Treasurer]] office in the same elections. Despite the loss, the Democrats maintained a three-fifths supermajority in the chamber.

'''Senate President''': [[Peter Courtney]] (D–11 [[Salem, Oregon|Salem]])<br>
'''President Pro Tem''': [[Rick Metsger]] (D–26 [[Mt. Hood, Oregon|Mt. Hood]])<br>
'''Majority Leader''': [[Richard Devlin (American politician)|Richard Devlin]] (D–19 [[Tualatin, Oregon|Tualatin]])<br>
'''Minority Leader''': [[Ted Ferrioli]] (R–30 [[John Day, Oregon|John Day]])

== House members ==
{{see also|Oregon legislative elections, 2008}}
The [[Oregon House of Representatives]] is composed of 36 Democrats and 24 Republicans. Democrats gained five seats over the previous session, in which they had a slim 31–29 majority; the gain is the greatest accomplished by either party since at least 1985.<ref name="HousemajOregonian">{{cite news

|url=http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1225869914296640.xml&coll=7}}</ref>
The 36-seat threshold is a significant one, as it gives Democrats a three-fifths supermajority in the chamber and allows them to pass bills which will raise taxes or fees without Republican support.<ref name="HousemajOregonian"/>
