Bill Summary · SCR 1

Legislative bill overview

SCR 1 is a concurrent resolution that formally adjourns the 2025 regular legislative session of Oregon's state legislature sine die (without a set date to reconvene). This procedural measure ends the legislative work period, allowing lawmakers to leave the Capitol until the next scheduled session begins.

Why is this important

Legislative adjournment resolutions mark the official end of a session, determining when lawmakers must complete their work and when any remaining bills die unless carried over. This timing affects which proposed laws advance, which are abandoned, and when the legislature can reconvene for special sessions if needed.

Potential points of contention

  • Unfinished business: Any bills not passed before adjournment automatically die, which may frustrate sponsors and advocates who ran out of time to advance priorities
  • Session length debates: Oregon legislative sessions have term limits, and when they end affects how much time lawmakers had to address issues, potentially sparking criticism that important matters were rushed or neglected
  • Special session triggers: The sine die date sets the baseline for whether a governor can call a special session and for what purposes, with implications for legislative authority and emergency responsiveness
