Maddy summarySJM 7 is a joint memorial from Oregon's legislature requesting discussions with Idaho about potentially relocating the Oregon-Idaho border. It specifically addresses eastern Oregon counties (excluding Bend) where voters have shown interest in joining Idaho, citing historical border changes and economic arguments about Oregon's budget contributions. The bill proposes initiating talks for an interstate compact that could include financial transitions and a vote for eastern Oregon residents to approve or reject the border change.

The bill aims to facilitate negotiations based on Oregon's constitutional authority for boundary changes and community preferences.
