It makes firearm permit provisions to Oregon Ballot Measure 114, which was passed in 2022.Until recently, that ballot measure has been prevented from going into effect by an order from a judge in Harney County Circuit Court, saying it was unconstitutional. Judge Robert Raschio’s ruling was overturned recently by the Oregon Court of Appeals. A separate suit is also taking place in regard to the U.S. Constitution.The bill specifies where a person may apply for a permit to purchase a firearm and adds an eligibility requirement. It extends the time from 30 to 60 days from receipt of the application by which a permit must be issued or denied. It also increases the maximum fee that may be charged for both initial and renewal applications. It also states that permits are not required for transferring certain firearms until July 1, 2028 and that permits are never required for active-duty law enforcement officers and military personnel.It also provides that a challenge to the legality of the ballot measure must be commenced in Marion County Circuit Court. It declares an emergency and must go into effect immediately upon passage.Public testimony on the bill will be taken until 4:45 p.m. Testimony may be limited to two minutes per person for both the public and legislators. To register to testify and for instructions on how to submit written testimony can be found at https://www.oregonlegislature.gov/citizen_engagement.Written testimony may be submitted up to 48 hours after the committee meeting is scheduled to begin. Public testimony registration closes 30 minutes before the meeting is scheduled to begin. The chief sponsor of the bill is Rep. Jason Kropf (D-Bend). He is also the chair of the House Judiciary Committee.</div></body>
