- iP 31 would make the Oregon Government Ethics Commission more independent by having its members appointed by the chief justice of the - Oregon Supreme Court instead of political party caucus leaders. It would also require lawmakers to report misconduct that they know about, and it would make records of lawmakers’ misconduct more available to the public.

- IP 33 would bar hospitals and health care systems from investing assets in stocks, mirroring restrictions that apply to local governments in Oregon. It would also require them to publish information about their income, investments and costs including salary and benefit information for individual executives and each classification of employee.
- IP 35 would require cannabis businesses to sign a labor peace agreement pledging to remain neutral in union organizing campaigns in order to obtain or renew their license to do business.
- IP 50 would repeal Oregon’s recently passed self-service gas law.
