Jason Kropf is under internal investigation after being accused of pressuring fellow Democrat Thủy Trần to change her vote on HB 4145, a bill to delay implementation of Oregon’s 2022 gun laws. flag The controversy followed a 20-minute hallway meeting after Trần initially voted no on an amendment, then switched to yes, allowing the bill to advance. flag Trần said the encounter created a hostile environment, while a complaint alleges intimidation. flag Kropf denies wrongdoing, and the House Speaker acknowledged the session’s stress without commenting on the incident. flag The bill, which would delay gun laws pending a Supreme Court ruling, has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
