AI Summary
This bill directs Oregon's Water Resources Department to conduct a comprehensive study on water conservation rules, with the goal of identifying potential improvements and legislative recommendations. The department is required to submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on natural resources by September 15, 2026. The bill includes a sunset provision that automatically repeals the study mandate on January 2, 2027, which means the study and reporting requirements will cease to be in effect after that date. The mandate appears to be part of Oregon's ongoing efforts to manage and improve water resource management, with the study likely aimed at assessing current water conservation strategies, identifying potential efficiencies, and developing potential legislative or regulatory updates. The reference to ORS 192.245 suggests the report will follow specific state guidelines for official reporting, ensuring transparency and standardization in the department's findings.
