Governor provides signing letters for policy and budget bills

On April 17th, Governor Tina Kotek provided a full list of signing letters for budget and policy bills from the 2024 legislative session, confirming she will not make any line-item vetoes.

The announcement follows a notice of potential vetoes pursuant to Article V, section 15b, of the Oregon Constitution that the Governor provided last week.

“I am grateful to legislators for responding to our state’s most pressing needs,” Governor Kotek said. “In the days following last week’s notice of potential vetoes, I received adequate information to have confidence in signing Senate Bill 1530 and Senate Bill 5701 in full. Additionally, I am sharing several signing letters with legislators and the public that raise specific concerns and affirm my values as we move forward on implementation.”

Senate Bill 1530, Senate Bill 1537, Senate Bill 1575, Senate Bill 1578, and House Bill 4045 are accompanied by signing letters which will be uploaded to the Governor’s website today and are available upon request immediately.
