Relating to obsolete activities of public entities.
SB 47 eliminates outdated laws and references to obsolete public entities by repealing 20+ specific Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) and updating related provisions. It modifies statutes governing public assistance programs, including child welfare, temporary aid, and medical assistance, by removing outdated references to repealed entities like the Family Services Review Commission. The bill updates administrative processes for the Department of Human Services, such as grievance reporting and policy change procedures, but does not alter eligibility or benefit levels. This is primarily an administrative cleanup to modernize legal references, affecting state agencies managing public assistance programs. The changes take effect January 1, 2026.
