AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to conduct a comprehensive study of the Climate Protection Program, with a mandate to submit a detailed report to the interim legislative committees focused on environmental issues by September 15, 2026. The bill specifies that the report should be prepared in accordance with ORS 192.245, a statutory provision governing official reporting, and allows the DEQ to include potential legislative recommendations. The legislation is time-limited, with the study requirement and associated provisions set to be automatically repealed on January 2, 2027, effectively creating a temporary directive for the DEQ to examine and potentially propose improvements to the Climate Protection Program. This approach allows the state legislature to gain insights into the current state of the program and potentially inform future policy decisions related to climate protection efforts.
