AI Summary

This bill requires the Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE) to conduct a comprehensive study of the lower Deschutes River, with a mandate to submit a detailed report to the legislative assembly's interim energy committees by September 15, 2026. The report, which must comply with Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 192.245 regarding public document submission, may also include legislative recommendations for future action. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study requirement on January 2, 2027, effectively making this a time-limited research initiative. By setting a specific deadline and expiration date, the legislation ensures a focused and time-bound examination of the lower Deschutes River, potentially providing insights that could inform future policy or management decisions related to this river system.
