The purpose of the O&C Renewal Act of 2026 is to update and clarify the management of certain public lands in Oregon, known as O&C lands, with a focus on timber production. The main objectives are to ensure that timber production is prioritized, to enhance fire protection measures for these lands, and to define what constitutes timberlands for better resource management. Key provisions of the Act include affirming that the primary use of O&C lands is for permanent timber production, which is intended to generate revenue for local county services.
