Members of the House serve two-year terms without term limits. In 2002, the Oregon Supreme Court struck down Oregon Ballot Measure 3 (1992), that had restricted State Representatives to three terms (six years) on procedural grounds.
In the current legislative session, Democrat Dan Rayfield of Corvallis serves as Speaker.
