Chair Golden called the Feb. 3, 2026 meeting to order, warned the committee this would be a compressed two‑week sprint with tight time limits for testimony, and announced all committee members were present and that an organizational meeting would adopt committee rules.
The Oregon Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Wildfire met Feb. 3, 2026, adopted committee rules and held public hearings on four bills: SB 1539 (allowing trained non-veterinarians to perform cattle pregnancy checks), SB 1590 (Public Lands Promise restricting state/local assistance for federal land transfers), SB 1551 (permits for homeowners to install or remove materials for wildfire hardening despite HOA rules), and SB 1584 (a Salmon Credit Pilot Program). Several bills drew divided testimony and proposed amendments; no committee votes on bills were taken.
