Today, the state House concurred with the Senate amendments to House Bill 4045 by a 54 to 6 vote.  The House originally passed HB 4045 on February 15 by a 44 to 14 vote and yesterday the state Senate passed this bill by a 24 to 5 vote.  Following today’s House concurrence, HB 4045 now goes to Governor Kitzhaber for his consideration.

Sponsored by state Representative Kim Thatcher (R-25), HB 4045 is a necessary legislative fix because under current law, the private personal information of every person holding a CHL in Oregon is at risk of being divulged to the public.

Please contact Governor John Kitzhaber TODAY and respectfully request that he sign House Bill 4045 into law.  You can contact Governor Kitzhaber by calling (503) 378-4582 and by e-mailing him through the online form found here.
