ADVOCACY BRIEFS

Protect Oregon Hospitality: HB 3962 & HB 2977 are heading to the House floor within days, and your voice is needed now. These proposals add costly, unnecessary burdens at a time when businesses are still recovering. Urge legislators to Vote NO on both HB 3962 and HB 2977!

A Win in Tillamook: The measure to raise Tillamook County’s TLT from 10% to 14% was defeated by 12 votes thanks to grassroots efforts of short-term rental members and ORLA's opposition campaign.
