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.
