USA - Oregon. A bill seeking to ask voters to repeal Oregon's death penalty died in committee

A bill seeking to ask voters to repeal Oregon's death penalty died in committee today. House Joint Resolution 1 was not brought up for discussion or for a vote by the House Judiciary Committee, missing a deadline for it to remain viable. A handful of bills seeking to amend the death penalty over the years have similarly failed to progress beyond the judiciary committee. Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, was the primary sponsor of the bill.
