It was a mixed bag for wildfire funding this session in the Oregon Legislature. Lawmakers came in with lofty ambitions — to create more stable funding to fight and prevent wildfires, to repeal an unpopular wildfire risk map and to get relief for 2020 wildfire survivors still waiting to be paid lawsuit awards. …The biggest wildfire funding bill that passed was House Bill 3940 — which includes a tax on oral nicotine products, taps the state’s rainy day fund and uses a very small increase to the timber tax. The bill should raise about $40 million per year to pay primarily for wildfire mitigation. …Ultimately, the legislature approved more than $200 million from the budget that can be used for wildfire suppression for the 2025-27 biennium. However, it didn’t come up with any new or longer-lasting funding source, Golden said. That means for now, money for suppression will come from Oregon’s general fund.
