AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on marketplace affordability in the health insurance market. Specifically, the bill requires the OHA to investigate and analyze the cost-effectiveness of health insurance options in Oregon and prepare a report with potential legislative recommendations. The authority must submit this report to the interim legislative committees focused on healthcare by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the study and its associated mandate will expire after the report is submitted.
