SALEM â The Oregon Legislature is clearing the way for the city of Pendleton to enact two new policies that require a change in state law. On May 18, the Legislature passed House Bill 2160, a bill that will allow the city to expand its urban growth boundary for affordable housing projects. A week later, lawmakers followed up by passing Senate Bill 315, which will give the city the authority to block disclosure of all public records relating to the Pendleton Unmanned Aerial Systems Range if they create a competitive disadvantage. State Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena, who was a chief sponsor on both bills along with state Rep. Bobby Levy, R-Echo, praised the city of Pendleton for its effort in trying to get the bills passed. Hansell said city officials and their lobbyist worked hard to meet with lawmakers and other interested parties before and during the legislative session to address any concerns.
