About these figures
The chair calls meetings and sets the agenda; a hearing or work session must be scheduled within five business days if a majority of members request it in writing; amendments must be posted online four hours before action; final action needs a majority of the committee; two dissenting members may file a minority report. House Rules 8.15, 8.20, 8.25, 9.15 (adopted January 13, 2025). Jurisdiction is set by referral practice and chamber rules; OLIS records the committee's name and type, not a written jurisdiction statement.

Evidence for this page
Committee terms, members, staff, meetings, and agenda items come from the Oregon Legislative Information System’s official record, observed 2026-09-01. OLIS committee codes are stable identifiers across sessions; a renamed committee keeps its code and the name history is listed. A code reused for a different body would appear here as one committee and requires review.
Meeting counts are scheduled meetings recorded by the system, including cancelled ones where marked. Referral counts require the measure history and are shown on decision pages. Edition dated August 31, 2026.
