Just a quick update, but it appears HB 2639 was defeated in the Oregon Senate today on a 15-15 vote. This was the bill that would require Oregon landlords to accept Section 8 vouchers and would not allow landlords to refuse renting to Section 8 tenants.
Unfortunately, the Senate pulled a sneaky one and revoted on the bill on Monday. With a Republican senator out of the country, the new vote was 16 - 13, and the bill was passed.
Thanks for this update.
