The 83rd Oregon Legislative Assembly is the current session of the Oregon Legislature. It began on January 21, 2025. Democrats netted one seat in both the House and the Senate to win a three-fifths supermajority in both chambers, which is required to pass new taxes or update existing taxes, holding 36 seats in the House and 18 in the Senate after the 2024 election. However, they fell short of the two-thirds majority required to unilaterally meet quorum in both houses, needing 2 more seats in the Senate and 4 more seats in the House.
This majority was later expanded by one to 37–23 in the House prior to the 2026 short session, as Cyrus Javadi of Tillamook switched parties from Republican to Democrat.
