This Act describes work that may be done from within homes on forest or farm land.
Describes allowable home occupations on lands zoned for forest or farm use. It adds limitations to county authorities, which has a one-size-fits-all effect that never works in this state.

The addition of these restrictions will put wedding, retirement, birthday and special occasion venues out of business. These are bread and butter that keep small farms afloat.

ADDED RSTRICTIONS: Does not provide clients with on-site dining, drinking, event hosting or lodging of more than five unrelated persons, except as allowed under ORS 215.449, 215.451, 215.452, 215.453 or 215.461; [and] Does not allow for the parking of more than three client vehicles.
