Associated Oregon Industries
Oregon’s largest business advocate
On Tuesday, February 9, the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources voted on party-lines to refer SB 1574 (cap and trade) to the Joint Ways and Means Committee. The importance of the referral is that the committee does not have the same deadline requirements as other policy committees; and thus, the bill will likely remain alive for the remainder of the Session.
While the prospects of the bill passing are minimal, AOI will continue to work with a broad business coalition to ensure Oregon legislators understand the devastating impacts this bill will have on businesses across Oregon.
