The Oregon Public Defense Commission held a town hall on March 10, 2026, so that providers of public defense services could offer input on what they would like the agency to include in its 2027-29 budget. The meeting included a summary of the budget process and an overview of guidance from the Governor's Office and the Department of Administrative Services directing agencies to prepare for the likely circumstance that no funding will be available for program expansions or new programs in 2027-29.
