Parks and Recreation
Today, Governor Kotek signed SB 1576, restoring recreational immunity for improved trails in Oregon. Because SB 1576 went into effect immediately, all trails that were previously closed due to the Fields v. City of Newport court decision can now be reopened without undue risk to local government budgets and programs. CIS’ previous advice to close improved trails is rescinded.
CIS is very happy to encourage local governments throughout Oregon to let their constituents know that all trails and recreational opportunities are open for business once again, and will remain open throughout the summer season.
Many have asked if SB 1576 “fixes” recreational immunity for once and for all. A “once and for all” fix is already in the works for 2025, which will be necessary because this fix is temporary. The recreational immunity protections of SB 1576 expire on Jan. 1, 2026.
Please express your thanks to the 25 senators and 50 house members who voted overwhelmingly to preserve Oregon’s tradition of keeping public land open and free for recreation. Thank Governor Kotek as well for signing this important bill into law. But also let your representatives know that a permanent fix is needed in the next Legislative session.
