HB 5203 Oregon House · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to state financial administration; and declaring an emergency.

HB 5203 approves new or increased fees for various state agency services, directly affecting licensed professionals (like counselors, nurses, naturopaths, and pharmacists) and businesses (such as those in psilocybin services and wetland development). Key provisions include a $25 annual psilocybin worker permit fee, $515 annual naturopathic medicine license renewals, and tiered fees for wetland determinations (e.g., $450 for general authorizations in 2026). The bill formally authorizes these fees adopted by state boards and agencies, as required under Oregon law. It declares an emergency to expedite this procedural approval process, with no substantive policy changes beyond fee adjustments.
