designating Coos county as a distressed place-based economy and requiring the department of environmental services to revise the rules for proposed new landfills.

SB 180 repeals the current designation of Coos County as a distressed place-based economy and requires the Department of Environmental Services to revise rules for new landfills. This bill directly affects local officials in Coos County and landfill operators by changing how landfill regulations are developed. The key mechanism is ending the existing economic designation system and mandating updated landfill rules. The bill does not create new taxes or funding but shifts regulatory oversight for landfills. (Note: This bill is pending further legislative action as of June 2025.)
