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.
