AI Summary

This bill extends the deadline for the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to submit a report regarding offshore wind energy development. Specifically, the bill changes the submission date for the department's report from September 1, 2025, to January 1, 2027. The report will summarize the department's activities in carrying out certain sections of a previous act related to offshore wind energy and may include recommendations for legislation, administrative policy, and budget. The bill will be presented to interim legislative committees focused on marine renewable energy and coastal resources. Additionally, the bill adjusts the repeal date for the reporting requirement from January 2, 2026, to January 2, 2027, and will take effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 regular session of the Oregon Legislative Assembly. This extension provides the DLCD with additional time to complete its comprehensive assessment of state policies relevant to offshore wind leasing decisions.
