Daily payments for Oregon committee legislators

Oregon legislators serving on the committee receive daily payments under state law only while they are within the United States. The payments do not cover their time outside the country, including visits to Ireland. The provided text does not state the payment amount.

Oregon creates committee for Ireland ties

The law creates a nine-member committee to promote Oregon exports to Ireland, Irish investment in Oregon, and joint projects. It can host Irish delegations, organize visits to Ireland, and exchange information. The Senate president and House speaker each appoint one nonvoting legislator, who serves at their appointing leader’s pleasure while remaining in that chamber. The governor appoints seven voting members to renewable two-year terms. These members must include at least one representative each from Oregon higher education, statewide trade, urban interests, and rural or agricultural interests. The committee elects a chair; four voting members are needed for a quorum and to approve official action. It may hold one or two meetings yearly, with members attending in person or remotely. It may visit Ireland at least every two years, with required meetings before and after each visit. The Legislative Policy and Research Director provides staff support for those pre-visit and post-visit meetings.
