Relating to the Emergency Board.
HB 3270 expands the membership of Oregon's Emergency Board by increasing House of Representatives members from eight to fourteen, while keeping Senate membership at seven. The bill changes the board's composition to include more House members with prior experience on the Ways and Means Committees, but does not alter the board's emergency powers. The Emergency Board retains its existing authority to allocate funds, revise budgets, and authorize expenditures during emergencies without legislative approval. This structural change becomes effective after the 2027 legislative session concludes. The bill directly affects how the Emergency Board is constituted but not the policy decisions it makes.
