Urging Congress to pass legislation to permanently extend federal tax cuts for wildfire victims.
Oregon's legislature is requesting Congress permanently extend federal tax relief for wildfire victims, which expired at the end of 2025. This follows Oregon's 2024 state law (SB 1520) that provided tax relief for wildfire recovery, but required federal companion relief to prevent liability settlements from being taxed. The memorial specifically urges Congress to make permanent the temporary federal tax cuts established by H.R. 5863 (Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2023). This applies to wildfire victims in Oregon who faced federal taxation on recovery funds after recent catastrophic fires.

MINOR
The bill was converted from an introduced draft to an enrolled final version, adding signatures of all sponsors and official adoption dates from the House and Senate. The substantive policy text urging Congress to extend wildfire tax relief remains unchanged.
TECHNICAL
The document header changed from 'Introduced' to 'Enrolled' and included the full list of sponsors, indicating the bill has passed both legislative chambers.
Official adoption dates and signatures for the House (February 12, 2026) and Senate (February 26, 2026) were added to certify the bill is ready for the Governor.
The 'Summary' section and the page number 'LC 28' were removed, as these are editorial elements not present in the final enrolled text.
