State Measures
Referred to the People by the Legislative Assembly.
Amends Constitution
Expands the availability of home ownership loans for Oregon veterans through the Oregon War Veterans' Fund.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote extends the home loan program for Oregon veterans to lifetime benefits and increases eligibility for non-Combat Veterans, National Guard veterans, and veterans who served after 9/11.
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote retains current law: Some combat veterans who completed service within the past 30 years are eligible for loans; other veterans honorably discharged and some National Guard veterans remain ineligible.
Summary
The Oregon Constitution currently provides that Oregon combat veterans may receive low-interest home loans from the Oregon War Veterans' Fund. Veterans must have received an honorable discharge and must have served for more than 210 consecutive days or been released because of injury or disability. Veterans must apply for loans within 30 years after release from service and must show the ability to repay the loans. This measure amends the Oregon Constitution to make loans available to more veterans, including National Guard veterans, others who have honorably served overseas, and veterans who have not seen combat. This measure would make low-interest home loans a lifetime benefit and would increase the number of honorably discharged veterans and surviving spouses who are eligible for the low-interest loan program.
Estimate of Financial Impact
There is no direct financial effect on either state or local government expenditures or revenues.
Amends Constitution
Requires legislature to meet annually; limits length of legislative sessions; provides exceptions.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote requires Legislative Assembly to meet each year, limits regular sessions to 160 days in odd-numbered years and 35 days in even-numbered years, and allows five-day extensions by a two-thirds vote.
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote retains current law, requiring regular sessions of the Legislative Assembly only in odd-numbered years, with no limit on the length of sessions.
Summary
The Oregon Constitution currently requires legislative sessions to be held biennially. Current law permits the Legislative Assembly to meet without a limit on the length of the session. This measure requires the Legislative Assembly to meet each year, limits regular sessions to 160 calendar days in odd-numbered years and 35 calendar days in even-numbered years, and allows the regular sessions to be extended by five days with an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of each chamber.
Estimate of Financial Impact
Their direct effect of the measure on state or local government expenditures or revenues will not exceed $100,000.
Amends Constitution
Authorizes exception to $50,000 state borrowing limit for state's real and personal property projects.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote authorizes an exception to the $50,000 state borrowing limit for the state to issue lowest-cost bonds to finance state real and personal property projects. Prohibits property tax for repayment. The limit amount borrowed.
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote retains the state borrowing limit prohibiting state from issuing lowest-cost general obligation bonds except for certain purposes.
Summary
Currently, the state constitution forbids lending the state's credit or borrowing in excess of $50,000, with some exceptions. The measure would amend the state constitution to add a new exception to allow the state to issue general obligation bonds to finance the acquisition, construction, remodeling, repair, equipping, or furnishing of the state-owned or operated property. General obligation bonds are the cheapest method of borrowing the state may use and would cost less than the certificates of participation the state currently uses. The bonds would save an estimated $5 million on interest costs for each $100 million issued. The measure does not authorize any specific bonds but authorizes the Legislative Assembly to enact implementing legislation. The measure prohibits the levy of property taxes to repay the bonds and limits the amount of outstanding bonds to 1% of the real market value of property in the state.
Estimate of Financial Impact
Measure 72 has no direct financial effect on state or local government expenditures or revenues. General obligation indebtedness authorized by this measure typically provides the lowest-cost method of financing. If the State of Oregon uses this authority to issue general obligation indebtedness or refinance current debt, the state should experience lower financial costs.
Description
Requires increased minimum sentences for certain repeated sex crimes, and incarceration for repeated driving under influence.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote increases minimum sentences for certain repeated sex crimes (300 months) and imposes a minimum incarceration sentence for certain repeated driving under the influence convictions (90 days).
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote retains mandatory-minimum sentences of 70 to 100 months for certain sex crimes and provides no mandatory-minimum incarceration sentence for driving under influence.
Summary
Current law imposes mandatory-minimum sentences of 70 to 100 months for certain sex crimes and provides no mandatory-minimum incarceration sentence for driving under influence of intoxicants (DUII). The measure imposes mandatory-minimum sentences of 300 months for a person convicted of a "major felony sex crime" if previously convicted of a major felony sex crime; defines "major felony sex crime" as first-degree rape, first-degree sodomy, first-degree unlawful sexual penetration, using a child in a sexually explicit display; previous conviction includes statutory counterpart in another jurisdiction, and separate criminal episode in the same sentencing proceeding. The measure makes DUII a class C felony if the defendant was previously convicted of DUII, or statutory counterpart, at least twice in the prior 10 years; imposes a mandatory minimum sentence of 90 days, at state expense. Other provisions
Estimate of Financial Impact
This measure will require additional state spending of $1.4 million in the first year, $11.4 million to $14.6 million in the second year $13.9 million to $21.0 million in the third year, $16.7 million to $26.6 million in the fourth year and $18.1 million to $29.1 million each year after that.
This measure does not require additional local government spending. The measure directly reduces expenditures for local government by $0.4 million in the first year and $3.2 million to $4.6 million each year after that, primarily by shifting costs to the state.
The measure does not increase the amount of funds collected for state or local government.
Description
Establishes medical marijuana supply system and assistance and research programs; allows limited selling of marijuana.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote establishes a supply system, a low-income assistance program for medical marijuana cardholders; establishes research program; grants limited state regulation authority; allows limited marijuana sales.
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote retains current law without supply or assistance programs for medical marijuana cardholders; authorization for state-organized scientific programs; or medical marijuana sales.
Summary
Current law allows specified individuals to become registered growers of medical marijuana by meeting criteria; does not allow marijuana sales or state assistance to cardholders in obtaining marijuana; limits growers to six mature plants and 24 ounces of useable marijuana for each cardholder; limits certain growers to growing for four cardholders; limits growers' reimbursements. The measure creates a medical marijuana supply system composed of licensed dispensaries and producers. Establishes licensing guidelines. Producers and dispensaries can possess 24 plants and 96 ounces of marijuana. Allows limited sales (by expanding cost categories currently not reimbursable). Exempts dispensaries, dispensary employees, and producers from most marijuana criminal statutes. Establishes low-income cardholders' assistance program. Allows states to conduct or fund research on cardholders' marijuana use. retains grow registration system. Other provisions.
Estimate of Financial Impact
The measure will require estimated state expenditures between $400,000 and $600,000 each year beginning in 2012. These costs are to be paid only from program fees required by the measure.
The exact amount by which the measure will increase state revenues cannot be determined. Potential additional state revenue could range from a minimum of $400,000 to a maximum of between $3 million and $20 million in the first year. The amount of revenue will be affected by the number of dispensaries, the number of participants, pricing, and costs of production.
The measure has no direct effect on local government spending or revenues.
Description
Authorizes Multnomah County casino; casino to contribute monthly revenue percentage to the state for specified purposes.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote authorizes a single privately-owned casino in Multnomah County; requires the casino to give a percentage of monthly revenue to State Lottery for specific purposes.
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote maintains the current state of the law, which does not authorize any privately-owned casino or casinos anywhere in the State of Oregon.
Summary
Currently, Oregon Constitution prohibits establishing casinos within the state. Under the measure, State Lottery shall issue a renewable 15-year lease permitting the owner of the former Multnomah Kennel Club in Multnomah County to operate gaming devices, table games, keno, and other games of chance at that site. The measure would become operative only if the constitution is amended to permit casino(s) within the state. A casino operator shall pay 25% of adjusted gross revenues each month to State Lottery. The lottery shall deposit money into a Job Growth, Education and Communities Fund (separate from the general fund), annually shall apportion half of the fund for classroom instruction expenditures, 30% to counties. Casino operators initially shall pay $1 million and subsequently shall pay $2 million annually, to Lottery to administer measures. Other provisions.
Estimate of Financial Impact
To implement the measure, the state government would be required to spend approximately $1 million in the first year. If a casino is licensed, the state government would be required to spend between $4 million and $6 million in the following two-year period; and between $4 million and $8 million in each two-year period after that. These costs will not be incurred unless a state constitutional amendment, separate from this measure, authorizes the implementation of this measure.
The measure would not require any local government spending. The measure, alone, will have no direct effect on state or local revenues. If a casino is licensed, state and local revenues would be increased between $13 million and $68 million each year. However, the measure would result in a shift of funds from the state to local governments which would leave the state with a gain of no more than $1.8 million and a possible loss of $26.2 million.
Amends Constitution
Continues lottery funding for parks, beaches, wildlife habitat, and watershed protection beyond 2014; modifies funding process.
Result of "Yes" Vote
The "Yes" vote continues the constitutional dedication of 15% of lottery proceeds for parks, beaches, wildlife habitat, and watershed protection beyond 2014. Modifies funding process, and allocations.
Result of "No" Vote
The "No" vote retains the current constitutional provision dedicating 15% of lottery proceeds to parks, beaches, wildlife, and watershed protection through 2014. Continuation requires voter approval.
Summary
Under the current constitutional provision, 15% of net lottery proceeds are placed in a Parks and Natural Resources Fund, half for state parks, beaches, historic sites, and recreation areas, and half for restoration and protection of natural resources, including fish and wildlife habitat and protection of watersheds. Currently, funding ends after 2014 unless voters approve continuation beyond that date. The proposed measure continues with 15% funding for the same purposes beyond 2014. State agencies receiving monies from the Fund are required to use the money only for specified purposes. The proposed measure also identifies eligible grant recipients and establishes minimum allocation levels of grant funding for local and regional park projects that protect and restore fish and wildlife habitats, and protect watersheds. Other provisions
Estimate of Financial Impact
The measure makes permanent the dedication of 15% of state lottery proceeds each year to parks and natural resources. For the year 2011, this amount is estimated to be $87 million.
- The measure dedicates a minimum amount of funds to local parks.
- The measure does not produce additional revenue for the state government.
- The measure does not require additional state or local government spending but would require adjusting spending between programs of funding sources.
Local Measures
City of Newport
General Obligation Bonds for New Municipal Swimming Pool.
Question
Shall the City of Newport authorize $6.6 million in general obligation bonds to provide for a new municipal swimming pool?
If the bonds are approved, they will be payable from taxes on property or property ownership that are not subject to the limits of sections 11 and 11b, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution.
Summary
The City would issue up to $6.6 million of general obligation bonds to provide for a new municipal swimming pool and related systems, facilities, and improvements and to pay fees associated with issuing the bonds. The bonds may be issued in more than one series and each series would mature over a period not to exceed 16 years.
The current plan is that the new pool would be located adjacent to the existing Newport Recreation Center and share resources with the Center including locker rooms, a control desk, security, and parking. The current planned location of the new pool would not require the acquisition or purchase of property by the City.
