2021-2022 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

HB 4077

Environmental Justice for All

This was unfinished business from the previous session and created an Environmental Justice Task Force to be housed in the governor's office. The bill provides more staff support and permanence to the Task Force and also provides funding for an Environmental Justice mapping tool. The mapping tool will both engage impacted communities in decision making and provide valuable information to improve policy and rulemaking in the future to ensure more just and equitable outcomes.

Yes is the pro-environment vote.

About the Scorecard

For more than 40 years, OLCV has protected Oregon's natural legacy. An essential part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. The OLCV Environmental Scorecard is not only one of our most important accountability tools, but also a tradition. The first scorecard was published in 1973.

By sharing how each member of the Legislature voted on the most critical conservation bills, we help Oregonians understand whether legislators listened to their constituents, or if they listened to special interest groups instead. It also serves as a summary of environmental bills and includes special recognition of the legislative champions.
