Proposing an amendment to the Oregon Constitution relating to the duration of regular sessions of the Legislative Assembly.

Oregon SJR202 proposed a change to the state constitution that would add an extra day to the length of a regular legislative session for each day that the Senate or House cannot meet due to lack of quorum. This change would allow more time for lawmakers to conduct their business if they face attendance issues. Voters were to decide on this amendment in the next general election.

Supporters of SJR202 argue that extending the legislative session would ensure that lawmakers have adequate time to address important issues, especially in cases where attendance problems arise. They believe this amendment would promote better governance by allowing for more thorough discussions and decision-making.

Critics of SJR202 contend that adding days to the legislative session could lead to inefficiency and unnecessary spending, as it may prolong debates without resolving underlying issues. They also argue that it could create a precedent for extending sessions too easily, potentially complicating the legislative process.
