OSBN reports that nurses communicating through its polls indicate interest in NLC involvement. However in the 2023 legislative session, Oregon legislators did not move forward HB 2408 to enter the NLC.

Meanwhile our neighbors in Washington did enact the NLC which we anticipate will open the door back up for Oregon in the next long-session 2025.
