Talking Points

Tell Legislators what matters to you for SB 1541: Ask your legislators to support SB 1541 to establish a state policy to Make Polluters Pay / Climate Superfund Cost Recovery Program. We need local League members throughout Oregon to advance this critical legislation to build support before the February 5 Senate Natural Resources & Wildfire public hearing. 

SB 1541 would create the Climate Resilience Superfund to ensure the largest out-of-state fossil fuel polluters pay their share for our safety and recovery from climate disasters. For too long, taxpayers and our local governments have footed the bill for the cost of wildfires and floods. 

The deadline is ASAP. We expect a first hearing as early as Feb 5. We need your support to give this bill an opportunity to advance.
