If there's a bill you're hearing about either in the news or elsewhere,
finding it is easy. The Legislature has a great tool available to you,
within the legislative website at
OregonLegislature.gov. From the homepage, you can access bill
information by clicking on the OLIS icon (that stands for Oregon
Legislative Information System in the menu bar (see image
below).
Once inside OLIS, you'll see a summary of the day's
events, including hearings, floor sessions and other Capitol events.
You'll also see a menu at the top right with an icon for
"Bills", which is a great place to start.
You can search for bills either by the bill number, or if
you don't know the bill #, you can search by keyword text or by the bill's
sponsor. Both House and Senate bills can be searched and by hovering over the
results, you can read the bill summary, to help to narrow it down to what
you're looking for.
