Bill > HB3487

This bill provides guidance for counties receiving moneys appropriated for grasshopper suppression efforts in Oregon. Specifically, the bill allows counties that receive these funds under a 2024 legislative appropriation (section 408, chapter 114) to use up to 8% of the allocated moneys to cover administrative expenses related to grasshopper suppression. The bill also includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the rationale being the urgent need to preserve public peace, health, and safety. The emergency declaration allows the bill to be implemented right away, without waiting for the standard legislative timeline. The bill was passed by the Oregon House on March 31, 2025, and by the Oregon Senate on May 1, 2025, and was enrolled as House Bill 3487.
