SJR 202 – Proposes an amendment to the Oregon Constitution to extend the duration of a regular session of the Legislative Assembly by one calendar day for each day that the Senate or the House of Representatives fails to achieve a quorum after attempting to do so. Refers the proposed amendment to the people for their approval or rejection at the next regular general election.

EMAIL COMMITTEE CHAIRS TO NOT HEAR THIS BILL.

EMAIL ALL LEGISLATORS TO OPPOSE THIS BILL IF IT GETS A HEARING.

Section (4) is the added language:

(4) A regular session, as described in subsection (1) of this section, shall be extended by one calendar day  or each day during that regular session that the Senate or the House of Representatives fails to achieve a quorum in order to conduct legislative business after attempting to do so.

What does, “after attempting to do so” mean? What action need to take place? What doesn’t it mean? Is simply calling roll call to determine quorum count?

What would be the cost to each day added?
