Litigation  |  OR  |  September 28, 2026

The Ninth Circuit docketed NAW’s appeal of the ruling that upheld Oregon’s Recycling Modernization Act on September 30, 2026, as No. 26-6404. NAW’s opening brief is due December 17, 2026 and Oregon’s January 18, 2027. Neither docket shows a request to stay the ruling.

What this means for you: nothing changes. The law stands during the appeal, so keep registering, reporting, and paying in Oregon. Source: Ninth Circuit docket No. 26-6404, Dkt. 1 and 2 (September 30, 2026).
