LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: We are thrilled to share that the House Committee has decided not to bring HB 2725 to a vote this session, which would have banned hundreds of families from enjoying watersports on the Upper Willamette River. But we’re not out of the woods yet. Please be sure to tell the Senate Rules Committee you oppose the duplicate boating bills recently introduced (SB 856 & SB 857).

See the link below to sign up for updates from Oregon Families for Boating they will continue to update you and make you aware of any needed advocacy! If you have time and can send a message to the Senators the link below makes it very easy to do. Feel free to refer to the petition in your email or conversations with Senators.

Thanks to everyone who signed, shared, and spread the word. We definitely know that it didn't hurt to have this huge amount of opposition united against this legislation! Thanks for helping to be a part of stopping this legislation!
Have a great summer everyone and maybe we'll see ya on the river! Be safe and have fun!
Sincerely,
Jenny Wiepert
