Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells OHA to study substance use disorder. (Flesch Readability Score: 66.1). Requires the Oregon Health Authority to study substance use disorder. Directs the authority to submit findings to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to health not later than September 15, 2026. Sunsets on January 2, 2027.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to conduct a comprehensive study on substance use disorder (SUD), a medical condition characterized by the inability to control the use of drugs or alcohol despite negative consequences. The bill requires OHA to complete the study and submit a detailed report to the legislative health committees by September 15, 2026. The report may include recommendations for future legislation to address SUD. Importantly, the bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study mandate on January 2, 2027, meaning the requirement for the study will expire at that time. This approach allows the legislature to receive expert insights into substance use disorder while setting a clear timeframe for the research and subsequent legislative consideration.
