Oregon Supreme Court upholds order blocking Measure 114 - https://www.opb.org/article/2023/02/09/oregon-gun-law-supreme-court-measure-114-block/
- Oregon state Supreme Court denied petition to overturn a lower court ruling blocking Measure 114 from taking effect
- Measure 114′s provisions remain blocked in their entirety pending a lower court hearing on the measure’s constitutionality
- Justices stated, “We recognize that the legal status of Measure 114 is of significant concern to many Oregonians ... Of course, it is the role of the judicial branch of government to resolve disputes such as challenges to laws enacted by the legislative branch, which includes the people exercising their initiative power.”
- Justices concluded it is not appropriate for them to become involved when the dispute is still being addressed through the trial court.
- This is second time the state Supreme Court declined to get involved in the proceedings.
- After Thursday’s ruling, Measure 114 will remain blocked until judge Raschio schedules a more in-depth hearing
