Legislative History

His legislative accomplishments include authoring Oregon’s Anti-Stalking Law, establishing the Tax Court Magistrate Division, reforming adoption laws to make adoptions quicker and less expensive, authoring major workers’ compensation reforms, passage of a host of anti-crime legislation, and reforms to improve access to our courts.
