Bill > HB2240

This bill requires the Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS), a state agency responsible for regulatory oversight, to conduct a comprehensive study of workers' compensation in Oregon. Specifically, the bill mandates that DCBS research and analyze the current state of workers' compensation and prepare a detailed report of its findings. The report must be submitted to the interim legislative committees focused on labor no later than September 15, 2026, ensuring that lawmakers receive timely information about the workers' compensation system. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, which means the study and reporting mandate will expire at that time. By directing DCBS to conduct this study, the bill aims to provide legislators with an in-depth understanding of the workers' compensation system, potentially informing future policy decisions and improvements to protect workers' rights and ensure fair compensation in workplace injury cases.
