AI Summary
This bill requires the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to conduct a comprehensive study on reusable packaging systems, with the goal of understanding and potentially improving sustainable packaging practices. The department is mandated to prepare and submit a detailed report to the legislative committees responsible for environmental issues by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations and will be prepared in accordance with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 192.245, which likely governs the format and submission of such reports. The bill includes a sunset provision, meaning the study requirement will automatically be repealed on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited research initiative. By focusing on reusable packaging systems, the bill aims to explore potential environmental benefits and policy improvements related to packaging waste reduction and sustainable materials management.
