The 2016 Regular Session of the 78th Oregon Legislative Assembly convened [1] today. This session is the ‘short session’ of the 78th Oregon Legislative Assembly.

The Oregon State Legislature web site explains [2] “Regular sessions convene each February and may last 160 days in odd-numbered years and 35 days in even-numbered years.” This ‘short session’ will end on March 5, 2016, or sooner.

Prior to Measure 71 [3] which passed in 2010, the Oregon Legislature met every two years – except when special sessions [4] were called.
