Oregon Lawmakers Move to Scrap Wildfire

Hazard Map (Salem, OR) -- Oregon lawmakers are on track to repeal the state's wildfire hazard map after a Senate committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 83. The map, created after the 2020 wildfires, has faced criticism for being too broad and leading to potential fines and restrictions for homeowners in high-risk zones. Lawmakers from both parties say the map caused confusion and didn't accurately reflect local wildfire dangers. The repeal bill now heads to the Senate floor and is expected to pass through both chambers before reaching Governor Tina Kotek.
