MODERATE
This bill updates the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) fee structure and clarifies appeal procedures. The main changes involve increasing filing fees for appeals and motions to intervene, and modifying how fees are awarded when appeals are not followed by formal petitions for review.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on LUBA procedures and fees, but the financial thresholds and fee award conditions have been adjusted.
FISCAL

Increased the filing fee for motions to intervene from $100 to $200.

Increased the filing fee for notices of intent to appeal from $300 to $350.

Changed the fee award provision so that if a petitioner does not file a petition for review after filing a notice of intent to appeal, the filing fee is now awarded to the local government or state agency instead of being eliminated.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement that the board must award the filing fee to the local government or state agency when a petitioner fails to file a petition for review after filing a notice of intent to appeal.

TECHNICAL

Corrected formatting and removed editorial notes from the enrolled version of the bill.
