AI Summary
This bill directs the State Forestry Department to conduct a comprehensive economic impact study focused on counties, cities, and small districts in forest trust land counties, specifically examining the potential economic consequences of the February 2024 draft final Western Oregon State Forests Habitat Conservation Plan. The department is required to prepare and submit a detailed report to the legislative committees responsible for natural resources by September 15, 2026, following the reporting guidelines outlined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245. The report may also include legislative recommendations based on the study's findings. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, ensuring that the economic assessment is time-limited and specific to the current habitat conservation plan draft. Forest trust land counties are likely regions where state-managed forestlands play a significant economic role, and the study aims to provide lawmakers with a clear understanding of how the proposed conservation plan might impact local economies.
