SALEM â A bill introduced to the House of Representatives Monday, June 21, would ban lawmakers expelled from the Oregon Legislature from receiving an appointment to a vacant legislative seat.
House Bill 3413 is a direct response to the expulsion of former Republican Rep. Mike Nearman and the legal uncertainty surrounding whether he could be reappointed to his former seat representing House District 23.
Rep. Marty Wilde, D-Eugene, said he introduced the bill as a way to clean up this uncertainty. I thought we should clarify that, not just for Rep. Nearman, but for any future representatives that might be expelled, Wilde said. Misconduct severe enough to merit expulsion should require going before the voters for their judgment.
