SB 1020 would have allowed out-of-state companies seeking to place utilities across Oregon rivers and streams to seek state-issued wetland-fill permits on family farms and forests without landowner consent.

SB 1020 dead . . . for now
Last year's resurrected HB 3058 bill to fast-track LNG pipelines (SB 1020) appears dead….for now. The bill was referred to the Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee two weeks ago, but with no hearing scheduled by a key Senate deadline Thursday Feb. 4th, it cannot advance.
