The Oregon House Climate, Energy and Environment Committee voted to advance House Bill 2332 to the House floor on March 18, directing the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality not to require a Title 5 operating permit for air‑curtain incinerators under certain circumstances.

Committee members moved and seconded the motion in a brief work session. Vice Chair Grama moved HB 2332 to the floor with a “do pass” recommendation; the chair called roll and the motion carried.

The bill summary presented to the committee stated there is no fiscal impact, no revenue impact, no amendment and no subsequent referral. Committee discussion of the motion was brief and no members requested debate before roll call.

Action details in the committee record show a roll‑call sequence of affirmative responses from multiple members and the motion was recorded as carried. Several members were recorded as excused. No further amendments or hearings on HB 2332 were recorded in the committee transcript for this date.

The committee indicated the bill would be carried by Representative Owens to the floor. The transcript does not include text of the statutory exceptions or the specific circumstances under which the DEQ would be prohibited from requiring the permit; those details are in the bill text and not stated verbatim in the committee record.

Looking ahead, HB 2332 will appear on the House floor for further consideration and any additional amendments or debate there will be reflected in the House record.
