Hospice on Farmland
SB 508
This bill would have created a new conflict for family farmers by allowing hospice care facilities on agricultural land. Oregon’s system of protecting farmland will fail if holes are continually poked into it for non-farm operations. Hospices are particularly inappropriate on farmland given nearby spraying of pesticides.
This bill died in the House.
