2015 Environmental Scorecard for the Oregon Legislature

HB 2564

Inclusionary Zoning

Inclusionary zoning enables lower- and moderate- income households to live in new developments in middle- or upper income communities. Since 1999, Oregon has been one of only two states (the other being Texas) to ban this tool that helps create more livable communities. HB 2564 would have lifted that ban.

About OLCV

The Oregon League of Conservation Voters is a non-partisan organization with a simple mission: to pass laws that protect Oregon's environmental legacy, elect pro-environment candidates to office, and hold all of our elected officials accountable.

About the Scorecard

For more than 40 years, OLCV has protected Oregon's natural legacy. An essential part of our work is holding our elected officials accountable. The OLCV Environmental Scorecard is not only one of our most important accountability tools, but also a tradition. The first scorecard was published in 1973.

By sharing how each member of the Legislature voted on the most critical conservation bills, we help Oregonians understand whether legislators listened to their constituents, or if they listened to special interest groups instead. It also serves as a summary of environmental bills and includes special recognition of the legislative champions.
