Bill Summary

The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act tells an agency to study rules related to water. The Act tells the agency to report on the study. (Flesch Readability Score: 71.2). Directs the Water Resources Department to study rules related to water. Directs the department to report to the committees or interim committees of the Legislative Assembly related to natural resources no later than September 15, 2026.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Water Resources Department to conduct a comprehensive study of water-related rules, with a requirement to submit a detailed report to the Legislative Assembly's natural resources committees by September 15, 2026. The report may include legislative recommendations and must be prepared in accordance with ORS 192.245, a statute governing how state agencies prepare and submit official reports. The bill includes a self-repealing provision, meaning the study mandate will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, which ensures the study is a time-limited initiative. This approach suggests the legislature wants a focused, time-bound examination of current water rules, likely with the intent of identifying potential improvements or updates to existing water management regulations.
