AI Summary
This bill directs the Department of State Lands to conduct a comprehensive study exploring potential funding mechanisms for marine cleanup efforts in Oregon, with a specific focus on removing abandoned and derelict vessels from the state's public waterways. The department is required to complete the study and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees responsible for overseeing public waterway usage by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the legislation will no longer be in effect after that date. By mandating this study, the bill aims to identify sustainable funding strategies for addressing marine debris and vessel removal, which can help improve the environmental health and navigability of Oregon's waterways. The report will provide legislators with crucial information about potential funding sources and approaches to marine cleanup, potentially informing future policy decisions.
