The Legislature moved a number of measures forward Tuesday:

Voter rolls — The House approved a bill that would use driving records to automatically register people to vote. State elections officials estimate that 500,000 new voters would be registered and would begin receiving ballots in the mail. Someone registered in this manner would get a letter in the mail allowing him or her to join a political party or opt out of voter registration. The 32-28 vote sends the measure to the Senate.

Horse roping — The House passed a bill that would make it illegal to rope a horse’s legs for sport or entertainment. Horse roping is the practice of lassoing a horse’s feet and forcing it to fall. An original draft of the bill upset rodeo fans concerned that a ban on horse roping could lead to bans on calf or steer roping; the latest draft affirms a “right to rodeo” in Oregon. The House approved the ban 57-1; it goes to the Senate, which approved an earlier version but must agree to the changes.

Canola ban — The House approved a bill banning canola fields in the Willamette Valley for five years. It goes to the Senate.

First veto — Gov. John Kitzhaber used a veto for the first time in the 2013 legislative session — a line-item veto erasing the early-start emergency clause from a bill relating to taxation and local government bonds. The bill now will take effect Jan. 1.
