AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to conduct a comprehensive study on electric vehicles (EVs) and submit a report to the interim legislative committees focused on environmental issues by September 15, 2026. The legislation mandates that the department's report can include potential legislative recommendations and must be prepared in accordance with Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.245, which likely governs the format and submission of legislative reports. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, meaning the legislation and its associated study directive will expire on that date. While the bill does not specify the exact details of the EV study, it appears to be aimed at gathering information and insights about electric vehicles that could inform future policy decisions related to transportation and environmental initiatives in Oregon.
