Oregon lawmakers launch self-review of new laws' impact, focusing on cost and effectiveness.
Oregon lawmakers are launching a self-review process to evaluate the effectiveness of recently passed laws, focusing on implementation, cost, and real-world impact.
Led by House Majority Leader Ben Bowman, the initiative, modeled after a California program, will assess bills in areas like reproductive care, senior services, and health care affordability.
Lawmakers will examine programs such as free books for young children and expanded hearing aid coverage.
While officials say the effort aims to improve accountability and identify administrative issues, critics question the objectivity of self-evaluation, and Republicans were not initially included.
The reviews could lead to further hearings or policy changes.
