Red light, green light: Some bills die, others move forward

Let us tum your RV in $$SS By Carol McAlice Currie, Hannah Hoffman and Anna Staver ~lat"m1~Journ1 I

1\vo weeks into the 2014 legislative session, no laws have been made, but it's becoming clearer which bills the Oregon Legislature will eventual· ly pass on to Gov. John Kitzhaber for considera· tion.

Some bills have yet to see their first committee hearings. Some have al· ready been spiked. Many others had their first chamber votes in either the House or the Senate last week.

The standard path for bills is simple: Each one starts out in a chamber and gets assigned to a committee. The commit· tee takes tes timony on it and then votes whether to send it tothat chamberfor a vote or to another com­mittee. (Often bills that carry a heCty price tag will visit a policy commit· tee and then the budget committee afterward).

If the respective cham­ber passes the bill, wtiich tiappens during a work session, it gets passed to the other chamber. For example, if the House passes a House bill, it then gets sent to the Senate. It goes through the same committee process there.

All bills must be passed by majority aye votes in both chambers and be signed by Gov. John Kitz· haber to become law in Oregon.

Notallbillsmakeitto his desk. Sometimes, a bill never leaves its commit· tee and "dies" there. 0th· ersgetpassedon toanoth· er committee to stall for time. Some get turned down on the House or Sen­ate floor.

Below is a roundup of where key billsofthe2014 regular short session are in the process.

Information about a proposed electricity price change to pay for two new PGE power plants

22

On Feb. 13, 2014, Portland Coeneral Electric asked the Oregon Public Utility Commission (OPUC) IO approve price increases in 2015 to pay for two new power plants when they go into service next year. This request for a potential overall price increase of 4.6 percent, or 581 million annually, is the first step in a IO·month review process with several opportunities for public input The actual price change may vary from the request based. on the outcome of the public process.

Meeting customer needs with safe, reliable, sustainable power PGE conducts \ong·tenn planning to ensure we can continue to meet our customers' needs in the most reliable, cost.effective way possible. We are building new power plants that will help meet our customers' energy needs for decades to come. The new plants will also help us meet Oregon law, which requires utilities IO steadily increase the amount of renewable power we deliver to customers.
