One proposal would designate the border collie as Oregon’s official state dog. Another would call basin wildrye our state grass. A third attempts to prohibit restaurants from providing single-use plastic straws — unless, of course, a customer asks for one.

They're among a handful of the 2,000-plus bills introduced by Oregon lawmakers so far this year. The state Legislature opened its five-month session last month, and even more measures are sure to surface before the session is adjourned.

Most bills won’t pass, of course. Many won’t get hearings. Some won’t gain much traction at all.

But we’ve sifted through the measures introduced so far. And, prospects aside, we’ve singled out 20 that caught our eye.

Here they are:
