Full rights bill
to 18- year-olds
introduced
SALEM (Special)—A “totally
comprehensive” bill granting full
legal rights to 18-year-olds has
been introduced in the House as
an attempt “to solve the legal
limbo of those between the age of
18 and 21.”
Rep. Mary Burrows (R
Eugene), a sponsor of the bill,
explained in a Friday news
conference that the present
“legal limbo” is the result of past
Oregon legislatures granting “18
year-olds partial statutory
privileges and obligations.”
Currently 18-year-olds can vote,
enter into contracts and serve on
juries, she said.

Editor
General Manager
Burrows explained that the
practical effect of the bill, HB
3167, “is to grant 18-year-olds the
same rights that adults now
enjoy.” This would include giving
18-year-olds the right to buy and
drink alcohol, form corporations,
marry without parental consent
and obtain licenses for
professions such as attorney,
doctor, dentist and public ac
countant.
Though a similar bill, SB 27,
has been introduced in the
Senate, ASUO President Bill
Wyatt said young persons in
terested in the issue saw a need
for the House bill “because SB 27
has received less than en
thusiastic support and con
sideration in the Senate.”
Wyatt said, “We feel there is
support in the House which will
hopefully spill over to the
Senate.”
He observed tnat ine recent
action of the Washington
legislature lowering that state’s
drinking age to 19 years should
help similar legislation in
Oregon.
Rep. Stephen Kaffoury (D
Portland), another sponsor of the
House bill, said that Oregon
citizens won’t want young per
sons going across the state
border to drink.
Kafoury, who chairs the
Alcohol and Drugs committee,
indicated that hearings on HB
3167 and SB 27 will be combined
at an April 12 committee
meeting.
Any University student wishing
to testify April 12 should contact
the ASUO legislative coor
dinators office in 309 EMU, Wyatt
said.
