Bill > HB2265

This bill requires the Housing and Community Services Department (HCSD) to conduct a comprehensive study on homeownership in Oregon, with a specific focus on understanding current challenges and potential solutions related to home buying. The department is mandated to prepare and submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees responsible for housing matters by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations based on the study's findings. Importantly, the bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the study is a time-limited initiative. The bill aims to provide lawmakers with data-driven insights into the state's homeownership landscape, potentially informing future housing policy decisions. By requiring the report to be submitted in the manner specified by ORS 192.245 (a reference to Oregon's public reporting standards), the bill ensures transparency and proper documentation of the study's results.
