Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act would make a third party study the OHA and provide ideas to make the OHA operate better. (Flesch Readability Score: 62.8). Requires the Oregon Health Authority to contract with a third party to examine restructuring of the authority to improve efficiency and responsiveness. Directs the authority to report the findings of the contractor to the interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to health no later than September 15, 2026.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to hire an external consultant with expertise in corporate restructuring to conduct a comprehensive review of the agency's organizational structure. The third-party contractor will be tasked with examining the OHA's current operations and developing recommendations to enhance the agency's efficiency and responsiveness. By September 15, 2026, the OHA must report the contractor's findings to the legislative assembly's health-related interim committees, potentially including proposed legislative changes. The mandate for this review is temporary, with the requirement being automatically repealed on January 2, 2027, ensuring that the study is a time-limited initiative aimed at identifying potential improvements in the agency's organizational framework. The goal is to provide an objective, expert-driven assessment of how the OHA can better serve Oregon's healthcare needs through potential structural modifications.
