AI Summary
This bill directs the Housing and Community Services Department to conduct a comprehensive study on affordable housing in Oregon, with the goal of identifying strategies to make housing more accessible and affordable for residents. The department is required to submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on housing by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations and will be prepared in accordance with Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245, which likely governs the format and submission of such reports. The study and reporting mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, meaning the department's obligation to conduct this research and submit the report will cease at that time. This bill appears to be a proactive step by the Oregon legislature to address housing affordability challenges by gathering data and potential policy solutions through a formal departmental study.
