Maddy summaryHB 3452 shifts the responsibility for drafting official ballot titles for Oregon state initiatives and referendums from the Attorney General to the Legislative Counsel. This change directly affects the Legislative Counsel's office, which will now prepare and certify the concise titles summarizing proposed measures. The bill amends several Oregon Revised Statutes to update references from the Attorney General to the Legislative Counsel in procedures governing ballot titles. This is a procedural change to the state's ballot measure process, not a substantive policy shift.

Maddy summaryHB 2305 allows Oregon landlords to terminate residential leases after a tenant commits a third serious lease violation (such as repeated late rent payments or material breaches like property damage) without giving the tenant a chance to fix the problem. To qualify, landlords must first provide two prior written notices allowing the tenant to correct violations, each including a warning that a third violation will result in no cure option. The third notice must explicitly state the tenant has no right to correct the violation and must specify the cause of termination. This applies to all residential leases, including manufactured home dwellings, and directly affects tenants with recurring lease noncompliance.
