AI Summary
This bill requires public universities in Oregon to obtain legislative approval before changing their athletic conference or sports organization affiliation. Specifically, the bill mandates that any public university wishing to switch athletic associations must first submit a detailed recommendation and rationale to the appropriate legislative committees for review. The change cannot be implemented until it has been reviewed and explicitly approved by the Legislative Assembly, which has the power to adopt, amend, or reject the proposed affiliation change. The bill references existing Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and builds upon current regulations governing higher education institutions. The requirement applies to universities listed in ORS 352.002 and uses the definition of "athletic association, conference or organization with authority over intercollegiate sports" as defined in ORS 702.200. This legislation appears designed to provide legislative oversight and ensure transparency in significant athletic conference decisions made by public universities in the state.
