2023-24 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

HB 3382

Land Use Exemption for Port of Coos Bay

This bill was originally a Major Threat because it would have allowed numerous ports throughout the state an exemption to land use laws under Goal 16, as well as exemptions from local jurisdictions. After significant improvements were made to the bill, including narrowing it to just Coos Bay and bringing back some jurisditional authority, we were able to downgrade to a Bill of Concern.

No 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.
