AI Summary

This bill requires the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) to conduct a comprehensive study on squatting, which is the act of occupying an abandoned or unoccupied property without the owner's permission. The DOJ must prepare and submit a report to the interim legislative committees focused on housing by September 15, 2026, following the reporting guidelines outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245. The report may include recommendations for potential legislative actions to address squatting. The bill includes a self-repealing provision, meaning the requirement for the study will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited investigation into the issue of squatting in Oregon.
