State statutes

Failed in legislature Four failed statewide bills 2019–2023; no successor in 83rd LA

Four separate GLB/SORE-specific bills have died in the Oregon Legislative Assembly across three sessions. HB 3350 (80th LA, 2019 — Rep. Keny-Guyer / Sens. Dembrow, Fagan): statewide GLB use + sale ban; informational hearing only, died in committee. HB 3023 (81st LA, 2021 — Rep. Smith Warner): GLB ban inside Urban Growth Boundaries with population ≥300,000 (effectively Portland-targeted); informational hearing only, died in committee. SB 525 + HB 2970 (82nd LA, 2023 — Sen. Dembrow / Rep. Neron): directed the Environmental Quality Commission to adopt CARB-equivalent SORE Title 13 standards effective January 1, 2026; public hearing March 23, 2023, died at adjournment sine die June 25, 2023. HB 2528 (82nd LA, 2023 — OLCA-backed alternative): 50% income/corporate tax credit for battery-powered equipment purchases, 2024–2029 sunset; House hearing, did not advance. No GLB-specific bill filed in the 83rd Legislative Assembly (2025 long session or 2026 short session) — shut out under Oregon's 2-bill-per-legislator cap in sessions dominated by immigration, transportation, and absenteeism. Oregon is not a Clean Air Act §177 state; Oregon DEQ has not adopted CARB SORE standards. Portland's municipal ordinance (Ord. 191653) proceeds without state enabling.
