SALEM, Ore. – Gov.

Eighteen other states have public funds bills that allow credit unions to accept public deposits. Senate Bill 331 passed the state Senate by a 22-5 vote, and the House of Representatives 51-5. Pamela Leavitt, svp of governmental affairs and public relations for Credit Union Association of Oregon called the bill's passage "a huge victory for Oregon's credit unions."
