| Where Can You Access Session Information? This is a repeat of information we gave you in our last newsletter which informed you on how to find information about Oregon's legislature. We hope you find it useful. Please feel free to contact us if you have questions or comments. What's new at the Oregon Legislative Session Website? Oregon Legislative Information System - OLIS, is a session application designed to help streamline access to session information. OLIS will centralize and provide close to real-time legislative information on the session, bills, and committees. You will see all of the important events of the day during the legislative session. OLIS will also provide access to bill text, amendments, and measure analysis, as well as providing access to committee agendas, meeting material, recording logs and committee votes. OLIS is now available by going to the main legislative wepage (see below) and clicking on the OLIS logo.
