SB1501 pushes to stop deforestation and climate change, regulating private land owners from logging and provides tax credits to land owners who grow their trees longer before logging.
The Oregon State Senate passed SB1501 on March 2, 2022 by a vote of 22 to 5. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill will kill thousands of logging jobs due to government interference in the market. This bill also invades property rights of land owners and provides unconstitutional incentives to adhere to the progressive climate change agenda.
