AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on the potential health risks associated with chemicals found in menstrual, intimate care, and incontinence products. Specifically, the bill requires the OHA to investigate and analyze the potential health impacts of chemicals present in these personal care items and submit a detailed report to the legislative committees responsible for public health by September 15, 2026. The report may also include recommendations for future legislative action. The study is time-limited, with the legislative directive automatically expiring on January 2, 2027, which means the OHA will have a specific window to complete the research and submit its findings. This type of legislative request is designed to gather scientific evidence that could inform future policy decisions about product safety and potential chemical regulations in personal care products.
