CR, et all,
Having lived in Oregon for the past 45 years or so, I can almost promise you
that the current state legislature won't pass any bills in the near future.
About all they can pass is gas!

If the Oregon initiative on this works out to their satisfaction
they'll pass a law that makes it a felony to screw with the chip. I
wonder if they plan to retrofit our MGs, etc.
