EXCITING NEWS! WE’RE MAKING PROGRESS TOWARD ENFORCEMENT!
We’ve had some very exciting meetings with Senator Gelser Blouin over the past several weeks! She is the Senator who has submitted our Enforcement Concept to Legislative Counsel. This is our first step toward getting an enforcement bill introduced in the Oregon Legislature!
What Is a Legislative Concept (LC)? Here’s how it works:
A Legislative Concept, commonly called an LC, is the starting point for a proposed bill in Oregon. It is a formal request to Legislative Counsel, the Legislature’s nonpartisan legal drafting office, to develop the language for a potential new law or changes to an existing law.
The LC process allows legislators to work with attorneys to make sure proposed legislation is clearly written, legally sound, and fits within Oregon law.
Once the draft language is completed and reviewed, a legislator may decide to introduce it as a bill during the legislative session.
An LC is not yet a bill or a law. It is the first important step in turning a legislative idea into proposed legislation.
Even more exciting, Senator Gelser Blouin has agreed to sponsor our bill, and she’s excited to be part of this effort! She has already received calls from other legislators expressing interest in signing on as sponsors. That’s encouraging news! Was it your legislator that’s reached out to her? Please reach out to Senator Gelser Blouin and thank her for stepping forward to support enforcement for manufactured and floating homeowners.
Reach out to your legislators and ask them to support a Manufactured and Floating Home Dispute Resolution – Enforcement Bill.
Tell them why Oregon needs a system that does more than put laws on the books. We need a system that holds landlords accountable when they violate those laws.
We’re making real progress, but NOW IS THE TIME TO DOUBLE DOWN ON OUR LEGISLATIVE OUTREACH!
YOUR VOICE MATTERS!
