I live in Oregon and have been following this bill (and contacting my senators repeatedly). It has not been passed by the Senate yet, just yesterday it was passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee (unanimously) and is now headed to the Senate floor for a vote. If the Senate passes it, then it goes to the House and will be referred to a committee there. That committee must pass it, after which it will go to the House floor for another vote. After passing that, it goes to the Governor's desk to be signed or vetoed.
If this bill passes into law, it will be the first law of it's kind in the US. No lane splitting bill has ever made as much progress as this one has in Oregon. Fingers crossed!
