AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to conduct a comprehensive study on environmental health and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees responsible for environmental matters by September 15, 2026. The study must be presented in accordance with ORS 192.245, a state statute governing how legislative reports are prepared, and the DEQ is authorized to include potential legislative recommendations based on their findings. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited directive for the environmental agency to investigate and report on environmental health issues. The legislation appears to be designed to provide lawmakers with current, in-depth information about environmental health conditions that could potentially inform future policy decisions.
