Yes. California recognizes out-of-state domestic partnerships that are substantially similar to marriage. An Oregon state registered domestic partnership is substantially similar to marriage. Therefore, California recognizes Oregon state registered domestic partnerships and grants them all of the same rights and responsibilities as legal marriages, but they cannot legally be called marriages.
Domestic partnerships are not recognized under Vermont state law.
