Bill Removes Residency Requirement From Assisted Suicide Law

(Salem, OR) -- The Oregon House has passed a bill that removes the residency requirement for the doctor assisted suicide law. The requirement hasn't been enforced since the state settled a lawsuit over the constitutionality of the residency requirement. Opponents say the state should have fought the case harder. They're concerned the lack of a residency requirement will flood the state with people who want to use the law. Supporters say the court settlement requires the state to remove the residency requirement. The bill now moves to the Senate.
