Bill signed by Govenor Legislation that addresses wild fire in the forestland-urban interface areas will be signed into law by Gov ernor John Kitzhaber at a special signing ceremony on Friday, June 27th at 1 1:45 a.m. in the Governor's Ceremonial Office in the State Capi tol. State Senator Bob Kintigh (R Springfield), Chair of the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resource Committee stated, "This is a bill that found middle ground between per sonal property rights, and a property owner's responsibility to not endan ger his family and his neighbors to the risk of catastrophic fire." The "interface" is an area where rural residences intermingle with forestland. Senate Bill 360-A de fines and classifies this area, pro poses requirements for property own ers to make reasonable efforts to pro tect their property from fire, and de fines funding sources for establish ing fire protection systems in inter face areas. A key provision in SB 360-A is the requirement on homeowners in interface areas to provide a reason able effort against wildfire. This in cludes providing adequate protec tion and minimizing hazards such as flammable fuel buildup around their structures. It also holds interface owners responisble for the state's cost of suppression of a fire if the owner fails to provide a reasonable effort as required by the law. The process leading to Senate Bill 360-A began in 1995 when the Leg islature added a budget note to the Department of Forestry ' s budget that insturcted the agency to examine the issues of the interface and devclope reommendations, including statutory changes, to address these issues. During the past 2 years, the De partment of Forestry received input from a variety of stake-holders; prop erty owners, landowner, local citi zens, local leaders, state agencies and state fire protection authorities. When the Legislature convened, lengthy public hearings and work sessions by the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee resulted in an agreement to the con cerns presented by these different involved groups. In the end, there was broad support for the bill.
