AI Summary

This bill requires the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) to adopt new rules by June 30, 2026, that will allow temporary housing for workers constructing solar photovoltaic power generation facilities. Specifically, the rules will permit both on-site and off-site temporary workforce housing to be situated near solar power facilities, drawing inspiration from existing rules that allow similar housing for wind power generation facility construction. The bill aims to provide flexible housing options for workers involved in solar energy plant construction, recognizing the temporary and mobile nature of such workforce needs. The legislation will automatically take effect 91 days after the 2025 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly adjourns sine die (a legal term meaning the session ends without setting a day to reconvene). By establishing these rules, the bill seeks to support the development of solar energy infrastructure by addressing workforce housing challenges.
