Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Broader water system technical help grants

The Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority can award Water Fund grants for outside technical help to communities developing water systems. These systems no longer need to include asset-management components to qualify for this help. The provision sets no funding amount.

Tribes gain child care grant access

Federally recognized tribes in Oregon can apply for child care infrastructure grants without running a Preschool Promise Program preschool. This expands who can apply, but does not guarantee an award. The provision sets no grant amount.

Enforceable affordability rules for brownfield housing

Beginning January 1, 2021, affordable-housing loan enhancements for brownfield projects require an enforceable deed restriction. At least four units or 20% of all units, whichever is greater, must remain affordable. The restriction lasts at least 30 consecutive years after housing completion. The local city or county, or Oregon Housing and Community Services when applicable, can enforce it.

Ports gain grants for capital improvements

The Oregon Infrastructure Finance Authority can give eligible ports grants for capital improvements, including dredging. Grants use limited money made available from the Oregon Port Revolving Fund. The provision sets no grant amount or specific allocation.

Cleanup borrowers face forgiveness and repayment rules

Brownfield owners or operators who miss cleanup deadlines or break loan conditions lose forgiveness and must repay over five years. Interest uses the prevailing bank prime rate in the latest Federal Reserve H.15 (519) report. For calendar years beginning January 1, 2021, borrowers seeking forgiveness must submit documents required by Oregon's Business Development Department. Those documents must show compliance with the conditions for any loan enhancement received.
