Register on OLIS web site.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Oregon Property Owners Association endorse this House Bill:<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;HB 3944 is a practical, no-nonsense response to the wildfire management challenges Oregon has faced in recent years. The bill repeals the most flawed and overreaching aspects of SB 762\u2014such as the disastrous wildfire hazard maps and burdensome state regulations\u2014while preserving the programs that genuinely protect property owners and reduce wildfire risks.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">By emphasizing local control, HB 3944 returns power to the communities most affected by wildfire policies, empowering them to make decisions that reflect their unique needs and circumstances. At the same time, it ensures that taxpayer dollars are spent where they matter most, supporting voluntary efforts to improve defensible space, promote forest thinning, and enhance wildfire readiness in rural Oregon.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Make no mistake, passing this bill will require a unified effort.

Oregonians have lost too much of their lives and resources worrying about this issue already,\u201d <strong>said Senator Robinson<\/strong>. \u201cMany of them fear they will not be able to continue living in their houses. Let\u2019s get these maps repealed now!\u201d<\/p><p>Senator Robinson has SB 678, that both Senators have worked on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlegislature.gov\/smithd\/Documents\/SB0083.4.124663%20Wildfire%20Map%20Sbmtd.pdf\">-4 Amendment<\/a>. They have also worked on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonlegislature.gov\/smithd\/Documents\/SB0083.4.124663%20Wildfire%20Map%20Sbmtd.pdf\">-4 Amendment<\/a> to SB 83. Both bills are currently in Senator Golden\u2019s Natural Resources &amp; Wildfire Committee, and both amendments have been submitted to the committee. During the 2021 Legislative Session, Senator Golden authored SB 762 that ultimately created the Wildfire Maps and subsequent issues to rural property owners.<\/p><p>\u201cHaving worked on this issue since 2019 and drafted the competing bill to SB 762 in 2021 that did not pass, I am grateful for the collective work that has culminated into this legislation to repeal the failed State Wildfire Maps legislation,\u201d <strong>said Senator Brock Smith.<\/strong> \u201cOver 100 thousand Oregonians and their properties are impacted, and we have come together to reverse these threats.\u201d<\/p><p>House Republicans and Senate Republicans are also putting forward a new piece of Legislation in HB 3944, that mirrors the language within the amendments above.<\/p><p>What the repeal does:<\/p><p><strong>SB 678 Amendment \u2013 Section by Section<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><u>Section 1:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section:<\/p><ul><li>Repeals ORS 455.612:\u00a0 This statute contains the home hardening (R327) requirements for new homes and remodels in the high hazard\/WUI wildfire mapped areas.\u00a0 R327 code requirements, which predated SB 762 and the wildfire map, will remain as part of the state building code, but they won\u2019t be tied to any map, since the map is being repealed.<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 455.614:\u00a0 This statute requires DCBS to maintain a mapping tool showing wildfire areas where the home hardening standards applied and the requirements for complying with the R327 code in those areas.\u00a0 Since the map is being repealed, there\u2019s no need for this tool.<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 476.390:\u00a0 This statute defines \u201cdefensible space\u201d.\u00a0 The same definition is being added as an amendment to ORS 476.392.\u00a0 Since OSFM\u2019s regulatory authority over defensible space is being repealed, meaning ORS 476.394 becomes unnecessary, there\u2019s no reason to have a separate statute that only contains a definition of \u201cdefensible space.\u201d\u00a0 You can just incorporate that definition into ORS 476.392.\u00a0 In other words, this is just a style fix for LC, but it makes sense.<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 476.394:\u00a0 This statute prohibits a county\/city from using OSFM\u2019s defensible space requirements as a criterion to approve or deny a land use application.\u00a0 Since we are removing OSFM\u2019s defensible space regulatory authority, there\u2019s no need for this statute.<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 476.398:\u00a0 This statute removes OSFM\u2019s requirement that they report each biennium to the legislature on their defensible space efforts.\u00a0<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 477.027:\u00a0 This statute directs ODF to define the \u201cwildland urban interface\u201d (WUI).\u00a0 Since we are providing our own definition of WUI (see Section 3 below), there is no need to direct ODF to do so.\u00a0 ODF\u2019s current definition of WUI is massively overbroad and based on a federal statute that had nothing to do with regulation and includes rural areas that are miles from anything remotely urban.\u00a0 Our proposed definition aligns with reality.<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 477.161:\u00a0 This statute requires ODF, in conjunction with OSFM and local governments, to establish baseline standards for wildfire protection in areas outside of ODF forest protection districts.\u00a0 Since Section 29 of SB 762 mandated the counties to meet those baseline standards by January 1, 2026, this statute eliminates local control.\u00a0<\/li><li>Repeals ORS 477.490:\u00a0 This statute is the mapping statute.\u00a0 Obviously the most important and obvious statute to repeal.<\/li><li>Repeals Sections 12a and 12b, SB 762:\u00a0 These sections established deadlines for DCBS home hardening requirements under ORS 455.612.\u00a0 Since our bill eliminates DCBS\u2019 authority to impose home hardening requirements in wildfire areas, these sections need to be repealed as well.<\/li><li>Repeals Section 29, SB 762:\u00a0 This section required all counties to establish baseline standards for wildfire protection in areas outside of ODF forest protection districts by January 1, 2026.\u00a0 Since our draft repeals ORS 477.161 (see above), this section was unnecessary and needs to be repealed.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p><strong><u>Section 2:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section:<\/p><ul><li>Amends ORS 476.392 to eliminate the requirement that OSFM adopt defensible space requirements, apply those requirements in mapped wildfire areas, and enforce the requirements.\u00a0 Since the map is being eliminated, OSFM\u2019s defensible space requirements aren\u2019t capable of being tied to anything.<\/li><li>Adds a definition of \u201cdefensible space\u201d (the same definition currently found in ORS 476.390 \u2013 see the third bullet point under Section 1), and retains OSFM\u2019s ability to administer a community risk reduction program which enables OSFM to establish educational, response planning, and community preparedness efforts incorporating defensible space.\u00a0 The amendments eliminate OSFM\u2019s requirement to establish defensible space requirements and their enforcement authority to enforce any requirements they may choose to adopt on private property.\u00a0 They also direct OSFM to establish a defensible space model code and make that code available to all Oregon local governments.\u00a0 Local governments can choose to apply the code, can create their own code, or can have no code \u2013 the choice rests with the local government.\u00a0 OSFM needs to retain authority to administer a community risk reduction program in order to obtain federal funding for the program.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we chose to amend this statute rather than repeal it.<\/li><li>Authorizes OSFM to provide direct assistance to local governments to implement defensible space programs in their jurisdictions if they so choose.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong><u>Section 3:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section amends ORS 477.015 to define the WUI.\u00a0 ORS 477.027, which is being repealed by this bill, authorized ODF to define the WUI.\u00a0 ODF did that, and their definition was horribly overbroad.\u00a0 Since the state will never have enough money to fully fund wildfire programs statewide, available dollars should be targeted to those areas of biggest risk for wildfire damage to people and property.\u00a0 Those are the WUI areas, but a tighter definition will help ensure that funding goes to areas at absolutely greatest risk for a wildfire catastrophe.\u00a0 The definition proposed in this bill is significantly narrowed to apply only in areas where there is a significant cluster of homes and wildland vegetation.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><u>Section 4:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section makes a slight adjustment to ORS 477.503, which requires ODF to establish a landscape resiliency and hazardous fuels reduction program.\u00a0 This is the program ODF uses to fund prescribed burn and forest thinning programs.\u00a0 The amendment adds a priority directing ODF to focus on protection of WUI areas when implementing thinning and prescribed burning efforts, as preventing a wildfire conflagration in the WUI will protect the greatest number of property owners and reduce the risk of a wildfire spreading into an urban area.<\/p><p><strong><u>Section 5:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section adds a new member to the Oregon Wildfire Programs Advisory Council, the volunteer Council that advises the Governor and legislature on the state\u2019s wildfire programs.\u00a0 The section adds a new position for a firefighter with experience fighting structural fires in WUI areas.<\/p><p><strong><u>Section 6:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section amends the seller disclosure property statement that a property owner\u00a0 completes when selling their property.\u00a0 The current disclosure statement requires a property owner to notify a potential purchaser whether the land is located within the WUI.\u00a0 Since our bill eliminates the WUI maps, there will be no way for a property owner to determine whether their property is within the WUI, and therefore no way for the property owner to complete this disclosure.\u00a0 It is being removed as a result.<\/p><p><strong><u>Sections 7-11:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 These sections are conforming amendments, where existing laws that contain references to the statewide wildfire map are being amended to reflect the deletion of the map.<\/p><p><strong><u>Section 12:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 This section voids any assignment to either the WUI or the hazard maps made by ODF as a result of the mapping process.\u00a0 In other words, it completely wipes the slate clean for every property owner, and declares any map designation null and void, whether the property owner appealed their map designation or not.<\/p><p><strong><u>Section 14:<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0 Emergency clause.<\/p><p>###<\/p><table width=\"100%\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"100%\">\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Hello Friends,\u00a0<\/p><p>I wanted to add a
