ODFW develops its proposed biennial budget request through extensive outreach and input from its many partners and
customers. To help develop the 2027-29 agency budget request, we will be hosting two Open House gatherings to share
information and gather input. These will be held on April 7 and May 12 (details below).
At these gatherings, staff will provide an overview of the ODFW budget, draft 2027-29 budget materials, and discuss the
process and timelines for developing the agency budget.
Anyone interested in hearing more about ODFW's 2027-29 budget development efforts is invited to attend in person at or
watch via YouTube channel listed below. A recording of the open house will also be posted after each gathering.

The State Budget Development Process
In Oregon, state agency budgets are developed every two years. The two-year budget period begins on July 1 of
odd-numbered years and concludes on June 30 of the next odd-numbered year. State agencies submit their budget requests
to the Governor who creates a Recommended Budget for consideration by the Oregon legislature.
Ultimately, the Oregon Legislature takes action through its Joint Ways and Means Committees on agency budget bills and
the final version of the bills passed in the 2027 session will sets each agency’s 2027-29 budget (along with any other
bills that adjusts the agency’s spending authority such as capital construction bills).
