SB 788 Oregon Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to events on lands zoned for exclusive farm use in eastern Oregon.

SB 788 allows farm-land zoned for exclusive farm use east of the Cascade Range to host weddings and other events. This change directly affects farm landowners in eastern Oregon who wish to use their property for such purposes without changing the land's zoning classification. The bill amends Oregon's zoning law (ORS 215.283) to explicitly add "weddings or events" as a permitted use on these lands, alongside existing farm-related activities like farm stands and wineries. It does not alter the underlying zoning requirements or allow commercial developments beyond event hosting.
