Bill > SB292

This bill directs the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) to conduct a comprehensive study of long-term care facilities in the state. Specifically, the department is required to prepare a report detailing its findings and potentially including recommendations for future legislation. The report must be submitted to the interim legislative committees focused on health-related matters by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, meaning the study and reporting mandate will expire at that time. Long-term care facilities typically refer to residential care settings that provide medical and personal care services for individuals who need ongoing assistance, such as nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or rehabilitation centers. By mandating this study, the legislature aims to gather more information about the current state of long-term care facilities, potentially to inform future policy decisions or improvements in the healthcare system.
