Bill > SB127

This bill directs the State Forestry Department to conduct a comprehensive study on funding for wildfire-related programs by September 15, 2026. The department is required to submit a report to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly that are responsible for natural resources, following the reporting guidelines outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245. The bill allows the department to include potential legislative recommendations in its report. The legislative directive is temporary, with the bill's provisions set to be automatically repealed on January 2, 2027, which means the study and reporting requirements will be in effect only for a limited time. This approach suggests the Legislature wants to gather specific information about wildfire program funding without creating a permanent ongoing requirement.
