HB 2924 Oregon House · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to the System of Care Advisory Council.

HB 2924 increases the total membership of Oregon's System of Care Advisory Council from 25 to 29 members. The bill modifies the appointment structure to add two additional public members who are family members of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities or mental illness (subsection (2)(K)), and two more public members under 25 with lived experience in foster care or juvenile justice systems (subsection (2)(L)). This change directly affects the council's composition, ensuring greater representation from families and youth with direct experience in care systems. The bill does not alter the council's duties or funding but adjusts who serves on the advisory body.
