Bill overview
House Bill 4019 requires Oregon state agencies – including the Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Transportation, and others – to use the rules and standards in effect when they determine an application for a new permit is complete, rather than relying on outdated rules. This ensures that permit approvals and denials are based on current regulations. The bill takes effect 91 days after the end of the legislative session.
