Oregon GOP Senators Continue Walkout Over Reading Level Dispute.

Oregon Senate Republicans have prevented the upper chamber from meeting and passing bills for the third consecutive day by walking out, falling short of the required two-thirds quorum. Divisive bills governing firearms regulations, transgender health care, and abortion are poised for Senate votes. Democratic Senate leaders say Republicans are trying to stymie a vote on House Bill 2002, a reproductive and gender-affirming health care measure, and others. Republican leaders say they’re protesting an unconstitutional process of passing bills that don’t meet legal requirements for readable language that the public can understand.
