As of 3/9, there were 64 written testimony submissions on HB 3115, which was allotted 45 mins.

HB 2367 was also to be discussed 3/9, and then had 100 testimony submissions. Today it has more than 200 submissions & counting, and it's been allotted 15 mins.

Does anyone know why? https://twitter.com/alex_zee/status/1382010831949328389

This goes further than another proposal before the OR legislature, HB 3115, which would allow people to sleep on public property, essentially codifying a 2018 ruling made by a US Appeals Court. I wrote about both proposed bills last month:
