House Bill 5009A has officially passed in the Oregon Senate, marking a significant legislative achievement during the session on June 19, 2025. The bill received a constitutional majority with 23 votes in favor, as the Senate convened for its morning session.

Senator Gorsek initiated the final discussion on the bill, but no further comments were made before the vote. The roll call revealed strong support, with notable votes from Senators Anderson, Frederick, and President Wagner, among others. Only a few senators, including Bonham and Hayden, opposed the measure.

However, the session was not without its procedural notes. Senator Hayden disclosed a potential conflict of interest related to his ownership of a limited liability company that has previously provided aviation services to the Department of Fish and Wildlife. His conflict was acknowledged for the record without objection.

As the Senate wraps up its morning session, it will reconvene at 2:30 PM, leaving the door open for further discussions and legislative actions. The passage of House Bill 5009A is a key highlight, reflecting the ongoing legislative efforts in Oregon.
