OR SB678

Repeals wildfire protection provisions enacted by Senate Bill 762 (2021), including the statewide wildfire risk map, defensible space requirements established by the State Fire Marshal, utility wildfire mitigation plans, and the Oregon Conservation Corps Program

Replaces "wildland-urban interface" terminology with "forestland-urban interface" throughout Oregon law and shifts classification authority from a statewide mapping system to county-level forestland-urban interface classification committees

Establishes the Oregon Forestland-Urban Interface Fire Protection Act, requiring the State Board of Forestry to set criteria for 3-5 classes of forestland-urban interface and minimum standards for fire hazard mitigation by property owners

Caps landowner liability for fire suppression costs at $100,000 when the owner fails to meet applicable minimum standards and the fire originates on their property; limits additional forestland-urban interface assessments to $25 annually per real property lot

Declares an emergency effective July 1, 2025, and requires remaining funds in the Community Risk Reduction Fund and Oregon Conservation Corps Fund to revert to the General Fund
