This was an initiative petition referendum, nothing to do with legislators. Any citizen can make a bill and if they gather enough verified signatures from registered voters, it will be voted on by the people during a regular election. Oregon decriminalized personal amounts of all hard drugs with that ballot measure in 2020, not just psychedelics.

Source: voted for both of them. 110 probably needs some tweaking (hah hah) and/or better implementation, but I still think the basic idea is a good one.
