During each legislative session, the Higher Education Coordinating Commission (HECC) presents to legislative committees and advises the Oregon Legislature and the Governor on topics of critical concern to Oregon postsecondary education and training. On this page you can find recent HECC presentations, testimony, and documents designed to inform decisions on legislative and budgetary decisions.
During each legislative session and continually, we work closely with many of our partners on the budget and legislative process. The Higher Education Coordinating Commission discusses legislative policy and funding proposals, receives legislative updates, and makes decisions on the agency budget recommendation at public meetings. Public testimony is welcomed at all public meetings of the Commission.
Go to our legislative summaries and budget document page for all current and past legislative summaries from previous sessions. The HECC Legislative Summary provides an overview of a selection of key legislative investments and bills approved during Oregon’s most recent Legislative Session pertaining to postsecondary education and training.
Go to our legislative summaries and budget document page for final copies of the Agency Request Budget, Governor’s Recommended Budget, and Legislative Adopted Budget for recent and past years.
We present to legislative committees on topics of critical concern to Oregon higher education and training. Here you can find links to HECC testimony, presentations, and resources for the most recent legislative session. Please note that we do not link to all partner-led presentations on higher education and training. For all records of legislative hearings, go to the Oregon Legislative Information System. In addition, you can explore recent HECC Research and Policy Reports submitted to the Oregon Legislature here.
