ORS 197.680 Legislative findings

The Legislative Assembly finds that:

This state has a large stock of existing farmworker housing that does not meet minimum health and safety standards and is in need of rehabilitation;

It is not feasible to rehabilitate much of the existing farmworker housing stock to meet building code standards;

In order to assure that minimum standards are met in all farmworker housing in this state, certain interim measures must be taken; and

Limited rehabilitation, outside city boundaries, must be allowed to a lesser standard than that set forth in the existing building codes.
