Hearings have not been scheduled for this bill, therefore, the bill is unlikely to move forward in the 2023 legislative session.

Bills to establish tax credits for gun safes appear periodically in the Oregon legislature and are largely unopposed. The efforts to establish a tax credit, however, have failed over the years even without opposition.
