Bill > SB5519

This bill approves a new administrative fee of four percent for the Large Electric Consumer Public Purpose Program, which is imposed by the State Department of Energy and has been approved by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. Specifically, the bill authorizes a charge under ORS 291.055(1)(e), which relates to state financial administration. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately on July 1, 2025, due to its perceived urgency for maintaining public peace, health, and safety. The bill is relatively short and focused on a narrow administrative fee approval process for energy-related program costs, with no changes to existing substantive law beyond the fee authorization.
