Despite the political disruption of this year’s legislative session, lawmakers were able to pass more than 650 bills and resolutions during the five month session. The highest-priority issues of the session were housing, homelessness, drug addiction, public safety and education. Many of the laws took immediate effect earlier this year, such as a massive $200 million housing and homelessness package signed by Gov. Tina Kotek in April. But several notable bills will take effect Jan. 1. In the link in our bio, there is a rundown of six key bills that will clock in on the first day of next year. #orpolitics #oregonpolitics #politics #newlaws #oregon #theoregonian
