Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This bill amends the Oregon Resource Conservation Act of 1996 to reauthorize the Deschutes River Conservancy Working Group through 2032, codify the Working Group’s membership composition (10–15 directors with specified representation for environmental, agricultural, tribal, hydroelectric, federal, state, and local interests), and raise the cap on administrative costs from 5 percent to 10 percent.
Narrow, low-cost administrative fix with built-in stakeholder balance historically favorable for enactment; main barrier is legislative scheduling.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a concise administrative reauthorization and amendment to an existing statute. It provides clear, specific textual changes to membership composition, the authorization term, and the administrative-cost cap, and it integrates cleanly into the referenced statute.

Likely supportive because it extends a collaborative conservation body, formalizes tribal and environmental representation, and preserves a multi‑stakeholder approach.
May question the administrative cost increase and press for strong transparency and ecological outcomes.
Generally favorable as a pragmatic reauthorization encouraging local collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
Will want accountability for the higher administrative allowance and measurable performance standards.
Mixed to cautious: may accept local, multi‑interest governance including agriculture and hydroelectric representation, but is wary of extended federal involvement and an increased administrative spending cap.
