Recognizing and honoring Vicki and Jerry Berger for their leadership and service to the people of Oregon.
HCR 8 is a concurrent resolution honoring Vicki and Jerry Berger for their decades of public service in Oregon. It formally recognizes their leadership roles, including Vicki’s 12 years in the Oregon House of Representatives and Jerry’s work as a community college president and on educational boards. The resolution has no legal effect or policy changes - it is solely a ceremonial statement of appreciation passed by the Oregon Legislature.

MODERATE
The bill transitioned from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, adding sponsor information for a second sponsor (Senator Thatcher) and including official adoption signatures from both House and Senate leadership. The substantive content of the resolution honoring Vicki and Jerry Berger remained unchanged.
TECHNICAL
Added Senator THATCHER as a co-sponsor to the resolution.
Added official signatures and adoption dates from Chief Clerk Timothy G. Sekerak, Speaker Julie Fahey, and Senate President Rob Wagner.
Removed the editor's summary section explaining the bill's purpose and readability score, as this is no longer needed in the enrolled version.
Changed the document header from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' to reflect final passage.
