AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Business Development Department (OBDD) to conduct a comprehensive study on utilities and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on economic development by September 15, 2026. The legislation mandates that the department's report be prepared in accordance with Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245, which governs the format and submission of state agency reports, and allows the OBDD 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 department to investigate and report on utility-related matters. This approach allows the legislature to receive targeted, up-to-date information about utilities while ensuring the study does not become a permanent ongoing obligation.
