Eugene, OR – According to the state officials, this follows the Oregon Court of Appeals’ December decision to invalidate the rules due to a procedural error in the original rulemaking notice.

The Climate Protection Program was a critical component to meeting Oregon’s greenhouse.

The objective of this new rulemaking is to re-establish an enforceable and declining limit, or cap, on greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels used throughout Oregon, including diesel, gasoline, natural gas and propane.

The first rulemaking advisory committee meeting will be on April 2, 2024.

This meeting is open to the public to attend and there will be time dedicated for public comment.
