The legislation mandates that the report can include recommendations for potential future legislation and must be submitted according to the reporting guidelines outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245. The bill is temporary in nature, with the study requirement and associated provisions automatically expiring on January 2, 2027.
