Each Senate district is composed of exactly two House districts: Senate District 1 contains House Districts 1 and 2, SD 2 contains HD 3 and HD 4, and so on. Maps of Senate districts can be found at Oregon Election, 2006 . The legislature is a citizens' assembly that convenes every two years in regular session on the second Monday in January during odd-numbered years. The Oregon Constitution does not limit the length of regular sessions; the first 35 regular sessions (i.e. until 1929) lasted 50 days or less. Since 1949 no session has been shorter than 100 days. The longest session was the 72nd regular session, at 227 days, ending August 27, 2003. Most recent sessions have ended in June or July. The Governor can call the assembly into special sessions as required. In 1982 a special session lasted 37 days, and the governor called the assembly into special session five times in 2002, for a total of 52 days. During the interim, legislators serve on interim committees and task forces that study issues likely to be faced during the next regular session. EXTERNAL LINKS
