Bill > HB3569

This bill modifies Oregon's rules for creating advisory committees that help state agencies draft and review administrative rules. The bill requires that when an agency forms an advisory committee to develop a rule, the committee must represent the interests of people and communities likely to be affected by the rule. Notably, for rules implementing legislation, the bill mandates that the first chief sponsor of the legislation (or a designated sponsor) be invited to participate as a non-voting member of the committee. The bill also applies these requirements to the existing Small Business Rules Advisory Committee, which consists of nine members representing small businesses and state agencies. The new provisions aim to increase transparency and stakeholder involvement in the rulemaking process by ensuring that legislative sponsors have an opportunity to provide input, even if they cannot vote. The amendments will apply to advisory committees appointed and rule review requests made on or after the bill's effective date, providing a clear timeline for implementation of the new requirements.
