Primary SCR 26
Passed · Oregon Senate · Lead sponsor
Reaffirming the State of Oregon's commitment to its relationship with Taiwan.

Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution (SCR 26) reaffirms Oregon's longstanding relationship with Taiwan, specifically referencing Oregon's sister state partnership since 1986 and Portland-Kaohsiung sister city ties since 1988. It commits Oregon to supporting the reopening of its trade office in Taiwan, Taiwan's meaningful participation in international organizations (like WHO and INTERPOL), and advancing a U.S.-Taiwan trade agreement. The resolution highlights Oregon's economic ties with Taiwan, noting Taiwan as Oregon's fourth-largest import source and ninth-largest export market in 2023 ($2.1 billion in total trade). As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but formally expresses Oregon's support for strengthening economic and cultural engagement with Taiwan.

Primary HB 3432
In committee · Oregon House · Lead sponsor
Relating to the redemption of beverage containers at wineries.

Maddy summaryHB 3432 allows wineries in Oregon to refuse redeeming beverage containers that they do not sell at their location. Specifically, wineries with a valid license can decline to accept or pay the refund value for empty bottles or cans that don't match the brands they sell on-site. This change modifies existing redemption rules (ORS 459A.715) to explicitly include wineries as businesses that can apply this refusal policy, similar to other retailers under certain conditions. The bill does not affect general redemption rules for non-winery retailers or other container types.
