ORS 526.289: Legislative findings.

The Legislative Assembly finds that: (1) State forestlands are especially vulnerable to the effects of uncontrolled gatherings of persons at large commercial events; and (2) To avoid detriment to the best interest of the state it is necessary to protect the health of state forestlands, the viability of state forestlands as a public resource, the well-being of fish and wildlife and the health and safety of persons on state forestlands through the establishment of reasonable health and safety standards to mitigate the adverse effects of large commercial events held on state forestlands.
