In a victory for the U.S. Constitution, Oregon has rescinded all its applications for an Article V Constitutional Convention, or Con-Con.
On July 18, Governor Tina Kotek signed House Bill 2625 (H.B. 3625) into law. The bill had previously passed the House by a 33-16 vote, and the Senate by a 25-0 vote.
H.B. 3625, once it goes into effect on September 24, rescinds all of Oregon’s extant (or “live”) Con-Con applications. It declares: “An application for an amendment convention under Article V of the United States Constitution that was submitted by the Legislative Assembly to Congress before the effective date of this 2023 Act is hereby withdrawn and is null and void.”
Additionally, the Legislative Assembly enacted House Joint Memorial 3 (H.J.M. 3), which formally informs Congress of Oregon’s rescission of its Con-Con applications. Unlike H.B. 3625, the governor’s signature was not required for H.J.M. 3’s enaction.
