Oregon House Bill 4145 was an attempt by the House to increase the fees that voters approved in Measure 114. The Senate Rules Committee removed these adders, but accepted making January 2028 the effectivity date of Measure 114 if the Oregon Supreme Court rules Measure 114 constitutional. The Oregon Supreme Court has not yet ruled. This latest version of HB4145 still needs reconciliation between Oregon Senate and House.

This is now dead. At least for now. The petitioners collected 142,000 signatures, but only 104,000 where deemed valid. So this won't be on the November ballot. Two prior petition attempts, 2020 and 2022 also failed. The proposal, sought to ban all recreational and commercial hunting, fishing, ranching of animals for food and science experimentation. https://www.kptv.com/2026/07/25/petitio ... er-ballot/
