Over a month after Fagan's resignation, each house of the Oregon Legislature voted unanimously to send the proposed impeachment referral to voters for the 2024 general election.

Oregon Rep. Jami Cate, a Lebanon Republican, cited the past ethics violations of previous elected officials, including Fagan, as evidence that this is a tool needed by the state legislature.

[10] Opponents argue that the current recall system is already sufficient and that voters should retain the right to remove officials that they themselves elected.

[11] Under the amendment, grounds for impeachment would be "malfeasance or corrupt conduct in office, willful neglect of statutory or constitutional duty or other felony or high crime."

The measure would require a two-thirds supermajority vote of the Oregon House of Representatives to impeach a statewide elected official.
