Arguments in favor
Reasons to support this legislation.
Supporters of HB 5021 and increased funding for the Oregon State Marine Board emphasize the importance of promoting safe recreation and improving waterway access. They highlight the board's critical role in maintaining expert technical assistance, law enforcement services, and aquatic invasive species prevention and education, particularly at Hewitt and Holcomb Parks. The funding will also support the Waterway Access Grant program, which enables the state to invest in facilities construction and maintenance, including an increase in limitation for this program.
