2023 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

HB 2929

Increases Water Resources Dept. Enforcement Authority

Prior to this bill passing, the Oregon Water Resources Department (WRD) didn't have authority to immediately shut down a water user operating illegally. The Department would have to complete a lengthy legal proceeding before being able to take enforcement action. This bill corrects that and allows WRD to shut down an illegal use of water before a legal proceeding has been completed.

Yes is the pro-environment vote.

About OLCV

The Oregon League of Conservation Voters is a non-partisan organization with a simple mission: to pass laws that protect Oregon's environmental legacy, elect pro-environment candidates to office, and hold all of our elected officials accountable.

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.
