Relating to substance use; and declaring an emergency.

HB 2929 restructures Oregon's Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission to improve access to evidence-based substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery services. It creates a new commission director position responsible for implementing policies, expands the commission to 21 voting members (requiring specific representation from health providers, recovery communities, tribal groups, criminal justice partners, and geographic regions), and defines "participating state agencies" to include departments like Corrections, Human Services, and Oregon Health Authority. The bill directly affects state agencies delivering substance use services and the 21-member commission, which will hold these agencies accountable for meeting commission policies. It declares an emergency effective upon passage, with the law taking effect July 17, 2025.
