The Oregon Family Fairness Act is a state law in the U.S. state of Oregon that made domestic partnerships legal in Oregon.[1][2] The bill was introduced into the House by state Democrats. The bill adopted the term "domestic partnership" to describe these unions; the terms "marriage" or "civil union" were absent.
This bill enjoyed a relatively easy passage through the legislature, when compared to its 2005 predecessor. Passed by the House on April 17, 2007 (by a vote of 34-26) and by the Senate on May 2, 2007 (by a vote of 21-9), Governor Ted Kulongoski signed the Oregon Family Fairness Act on May 9, 2007. The law was scheduled to take effect January 1, 2008, but was delayed by a preliminary injunction until after a hearing on February 1, 2008, where the injunction was lifted. Domestic partnerships became effective from February 4, 2008.
