Bill > HB2898

This bill establishes the Oregon All Funds Crisis and Disaster Resourcing Task Force, a seven-member committee that includes legislative and gubernatorial appointees from various backgrounds, along with several ex officio members from state public safety and emergency management agencies. The task force's primary responsibilities include reviewing public and private funding sources for public safety and security in Oregon, assessing the value and outcomes of existing taxes and fees, and making recommendations to the state legislature about creating a strategic resources structure for future public safety needs. The task force will meet as needed, elect a chairperson, and is required to submit a report to an interim legislative committee by December 15, 2026, with potential legislative recommendations. The Oregon Department of Emergency Management will provide staff support, and task force members who are not legislators may receive expense reimbursements. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, and the task force will be automatically dissolved on December 31, 2026, ensuring it is a time-limited initiative designed to comprehensively evaluate and improve Oregon's public safety funding and resource allocation.
