SALEM — A key Republican lawmaker is adamant that a bill that would allow the non-U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at Oregon’s public universities will die this year.
Rep. Andy Olson, R-Albany, said Friday that he won’t allow Senate Bill 742 — passed by the Oregon Senate on a 18-11 vote in late March — to get out of the House Rules Committee, which he co-chairs.
Because of the 30-30 split in the House between Republicans and Democrats, each House committee has two co-chairmen instead of a single chairman this year. Both co-chairmen have to agree to schedule a committee work session on a bill, at which point a bill can be voted to the floor.
And that won’t happen with Senate Bill 742 on his watch, Olson said.
