Multiple mayors, city administrators and city managers (Central Point, Rogue River, Bonita, Port Orford and others) described how reduced local match percentages or caps (examples cited: $400,000 match cap; sliding-match percentages by city size; Bonita example reducing local share) would enable projects that are otherwise unaffordable.

The Senate Committee on Commerce and General Government held public hearings on two bills: SB 1593, the Oregon Recreation, Commerce and Affordability Act (a broad package to restore enforceability of recreational liability waivers and direct an economic study), and SB 1585, which lowers matching grant requirements for small cities. Lawmakers heard extensive proponent testimony and scheduled further committee work; no final votes were taken.
