Oregon Senate walkout ends after Republican deal.
TL;DR Summary
Republicans in the Oregon senate ended their six-week walkout after Democrats agreed to concessions on measures covering abortion, transgender healthcare, and gun rights. The boycott prevented the state senate from reaching a two-thirds quorum needed to pass bills. Democrats agreed to change language concerning parental notifications for abortion, and to drop several amendments on a bill that would punish the manufacturing or transferring of undetectable firearms. The bills will now go back to the House for a concurrence vote before going to the governor for her signature. The walkout is the second-longest of any US state, after Rhode Island.
