The Oregon House of Representatives passed Senate Bill 166 on third reading, a 167‑page statutory update to ORS Chapter 9 that, among other changes, replaces the word "member" with "licensee" in statutes governing the Oregon State Bar and lowers the quorum required for the Board of Governors.

Representative Wallen, who presented the bill on the floor, said the changes were requested by the Oregon State Bar and recommended by the Ninth Circuit to reflect that individuals are licensed to practice law rather than merely "members." Wallen also told the chamber the bill lowers the Board of Governors' quorum from two‑thirds (13 of 19) to three‑fifths (12 of 19) and clarifies statutory references to the Bar's rules of procedure and the Supreme Court's rules.

Before third reading, Representative Osborne moved to suspend the requirement that the bill be read section by section under Article IV, section 19 of the Oregon Constitution; the motion carried and the clerk read the bill by title only. After brief floor presentation and no further discussion, the clerk declared Senate Bill 166 passed, noting it "received the constitutional majority." The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally or individual votes on final passage.

Senate Bill 166 amends several sections of ORS Chapter 9 (including ORS 9.005, 9.01, 9.025, 9.03, 9.04) to change terminology, adjust governance rules, and specify applicability of certain statutes to the Oregon State Bar. The changes are statutory; the bill does not itself change licensing standards or Board membership numbers.
