Overview

• Oregon Senate Republicans and an independent senator have been on a 10-day walkout.
• The walkout has stalled action on hundreds of bills, including gun control, gender-affirming care, and abortion rights.
• Three boycotting senators have reached the 10-day limit and are disqualified from holding office for the next four-year terms.
• The walkout has prevented a quorum of the Senate, with two-thirds of members required to be present for the chamber to debate and vote on bills.
• A constitutional amendment disqualifies lawmakers with 10 unexcused absences from reelection.
