概要

 Oregon's 2026 legislative short session kicked off this week with 246 bills under consideration, focusing on budget shortfalls from federal H.R. 1 tax changes projected to cut state revenue by billions over six years, according to the Oregon Legislature and Representative Rob Nosse. Lawmakers received an updated revenue forecast amid a $63 million gap, prompting agency cuts and debates over protecting core services like education. Top headlines include Democratic pushes against federal immigration policies with bills shielding immigrants' rights, mandating school notifications for ICE presence, and enabling lawsuits against federal overreach, as detailed by Nosse in the Southeast Examiner. Transportation funding hangs in limbo after a $4 billion gas tax package was referred to May's ballot, leaving ODOT with a $242 million deficit, per the League of Oregon Cities.

In business and economy, bipartisan support grows for the Oregon JOBS Act, unlocking 1,700 acres in Hillsboro for advanced manufacturing in biotech and clean tech, expanding R&D tax credits through 2036, and adding incentives, NBC16 reports. Oregon Business & Industry prioritizes economic competitiveness, urging pro-business reforms while opposing new taxes. Community efforts shine with Western Oregon University's Center on Early Learning receiving $1.12 million in federal Preschool Development Grant funding to unify early childhood systems and boost educator resources, per university announcements. Local infrastructure advances in Oregon City include water upgrades and parks planning, alongside debates on replacing the aging city pool.

No major recent weather events reported. Gun control measures like HB 4145, doubling firearm permit times to 60 days and hiking fees to $150, face hearings on session day one, NRA-ILA notes.

Looking Ahead: Watch the 35-day session's end for budget resolutions, May transportation ballot, and 2027 long-session previews on immigration and competitiveness.
