The bill to create overtime pay for farmworkers that passed the Oregon Senate Thursday on a 17-10 mainly party line vote, and is now headed to the Governor.  Senator Lee Beyer of Springfield was the lone Democrat to vote against the bill, which would phase in overtime pay, setting maximum hours without paying time-and-a-half at 55 per week through 2024, 48 per week the following two years, and 40 in 2027 and beyond.  Farms would be eligible for personal and corporate income tax credits to help offset added costs.  Representative Daniel Bonham of The Dalles opposed the bill in the House, and he expects it will pass the Senate.  He also expressed frustration that a move to send the bill back to committee for more study was narrowly defeated.  Bonham added he felt “political will” won out over finding good policy.
