Oregon State Legislature Snapshot
The Oregon State Legislature makes the rules for citizens to follow. Made up of 30 members in the Senate and 60 members in the House of Representatives, the state legislature meets every two years in January. Senators (serving four-year terms) represent a district with some 114,000 residents, and Representatives (serving two-year terms) represent about 57,000 citizens in each district. After the House and the Senate pass a bill, it is forwarded to the governor for approval. A two-thirds vote in the legislature will override the governor's veto.
