AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of State Lands (DSL) to create a program to help Oregon counties acquire federal lands through purchase, long-term lease, or negotiation. The program is designed to support county efforts to obtain federal lands for various purposes, including forest management, wildfire prevention, transportation routes, housing, and commercial activities. Specifically, the bill mandates that by January 1, 2027, the DSL must contact each county in Oregon and the directors of federal agencies that own land in the state to inform them about the new program and explore potential land acquisition opportunities. The bill aims to facilitate more direct local involvement in land use and management by providing counties with a structured mechanism to engage with federal landowners and potentially acquire lands that could benefit local communities.
