AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on potential modifications to the prioritized list of health services created by the Health Evidence Review Commission, which is currently outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 414.690. Specifically, the bill requires the OHA to prepare and submit a detailed report to the legislative assembly's interim health committees by September 15, 2026, with the report potentially including legislative recommendations. The bill also includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the study mandate will expire after the report is submitted. This legislation appears aimed at systematically reviewing and potentially improving healthcare service coverage under the Oregon Health Plan by mandating an official review and assessment of the existing prioritized health services list.
