2025-2026 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

HB 4134

OCN Priority Bill
1.25% for Wildlife

This landmark bill dedicates ongoing funding to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife’s work to implement the Wildlife Action Plan by levying a modest 1.25% on transient lodging. With nearly 300 species in our state at an elevated risk of extinction, and 11 habitats identified as being of greatest conservation need, this bill provides approximately $38 million annually to support fish, wildlife, and habitat protection; marking the culmination of years of collaboration among a broad, diverse coalition of conservation, hunting, fishing, forestry, farming, ranching, and business stakeholders.

HB 4134, which was the result of more than a decade of work, is double scored.

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.
