Relating to the Good Neighbor Authority Agreement.
SB 374 amends Oregon law to clarify how state agencies can implement the Good Neighbor Authority Agreement with federal land managers. It requires state agencies to prioritize projects under this agreement that increase forest restoration work beyond what federal agencies would do alone (called "additive" projects), maximize economic benefits for Oregon, and recover state costs. The bill also mandates that projects must include payments to Oregon counties based on the value of timber sold from federal lands under the agreement. This directly affects Oregon state agencies like the State Forester and Fish and Wildlife Director who manage these projects. The changes aim to ensure projects create local economic benefits while advancing forest health and wildfire risk reduction.
