HB 4145 B : Measure 114 Implementation

Position: Support Status: Signed by Gov.Kotek

Oregon 2026 Legislative Session

The Oregon House concurred with the Senate amendment and repassed HB 4145 B. The bill no longer has the unnecessary carve outs which is good but the bill delays the implementation of Measure 114 until January 1, 2028 -- which is more than 5 years after voters passed Measure 114.

The bill, now called HB 4145 B to reflect the incorporation of the -A9 amendment, was adopted in the Senate Rules Committee on March 4. The bill was moved to the Senate floor with a do pass recommendation.

Governor Kotek signed HB 4145 into law.

HB 4145 B delays the implementation of Measure 114 — and the will of Oregonians — until January 1, 2028. That delay will cost lives.

The question to ask your legislators is why the Democratic leadership in Oregon allowed this delay. Measure 114 was passed by Oregonians in 2022. The funding and necessary permitting process should be in place by now.

Remember this question as you vote in the primary election this May: What has your legislator done to implement an evidence-based process which was voted into law by Oregonians. Excuses abound while people die. Make sure your candidate specifically tells you what they will do.

HB 4145 B may be read here.

The HB 4145-A9 removed the unnecessary exemptions and restored Measure 114 to the document voted into law by Oregonians. To adjust to the court delays of Measure 114, the -A9 amendment changed the dates by which permit to purchase and final sales of large-capacity magazines must be ended. The -A9 maintains the processing PTP to 30 days and the fees are to remain at $65 for an initial permit and $50 for renewal.
