Arguments in favor
Reasons to support this legislation.
Supporters of the bill advocate for a centralized online system, dubbed the "Oregon Rulemaking Information System" (ORIS), to provide small businesses with easier access to regulatory information and facilitate collaborative discussions between agencies and businesses. This system would enable earlier notice of rulemaking processes, allowing for more public engagement throughout the process. Proponents argue that ORIS would enhance transparency and accessibility, benefiting stakeholders and the public, particularly in increasing economic competitiveness and promoting Oregon's market presence. The Oregon Medical Association also supports the bill, citing its aim to improve transparency and accessibility in Oregon's administrative rulemaking process.
