CNN affiliate KOIN reports that the Oregon State Senate canceled Saturday’s planned session. State police Captain Tim Fox warned "We have been monitoring information throughout the day that indicates the safety of legislators, staff and citizen visitors could be compromised if certain threatened behaviors were realized,”
Militia groups planned gatherings at the State Capitol in support of the GOP Senators’ walk-out to avoid a vote on HB 2020, the “Clean Energy Jobs” bill to address climate change. They left the Capitol after Wednesday’s session. Their whereabouts are currently unknown. The legislative session ends on June 30, so even a few days of delay could kill this and other bills awaiting action.
There is a Senate session planned for Sunday, which is still expected to convene.
