Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
10 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 4 mixed.
Set pay for top state officers
The Governor is paid $98,600 per year plus $1,000 per month for expenses. The Attorney General is paid $82,200 plus $250 per month. The Secretary of State, State Treasurer, and the Labor Commissioner are each paid $77,000 plus $250 per month. These amounts apply each year beginning January 1, 2014.
Updated pay for Supreme Court judges
The Chief Justice is paid $157,076 for Jan 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020; then $5,000 more starting July 1, 2020. The Chief Justice salary is $224,784 on July 1, 2025, and becomes 110% of that 2025 amount on July 1, 2027. Other Supreme Court judges are paid $154,040 for Jan 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020; then $5,000 more starting July 1, 2020. Each other justice’s salary is $220,596 on July 1, 2025, and becomes 110% of that 2025 amount on July 1, 2027. Later adjustments follow ORS 292.428.
Summer learning grants for K-12 students
The Department of Education creates a Summer Learning Grant program for students from incoming kindergarten through outgoing grade 12. Programs must offer at least 80 hours per session. School districts, education service districts, public charter schools, and Oregon tribes can apply, and they may partner with schools, colleges, local governments, tribes, and nonprofits. Grant funds can pay for staff and training, curriculum and supplies, facilities, student transportation, and snacks or meals not covered by federal programs. Admin costs are capped at 5% if a partner runs the whole program (10% if not), and transportation costs do not count toward the cap. Applications need a plan, pre‑ and post‑assessments, and a budget; partners must provide support letters. Grantees must report students served, hours, staffing and training, assessments, credits earned, strategies, and how the money was used.
More money for road maintenance
The law moves more money into the State Highway Fund for road operations and maintenance. On the act’s effective date, $35 million shifts from the Connect Oregon Fund, $6 million from the Multimodal Active Transportation Fund, $5 million from the Student Driver Training Fund, and $2 million from the Transportation Operating Fund. During the biennium ending June 30, 2027, up to $7 million of privilege‑tax receipts, up to $2 million that would go to the Multimodal Active Transportation Fund, up to $17 million that would go to Safe Routes to Schools, and up to $18 million that would go to the Transportation Operating Fund are redirected to the State Highway Fund. The Department of Transportation must also spend $85 million and $35 million from funds described in ORS 367.095(4) on operations and maintenance. In addition, $6 million once set for State Highway 58 is used for maintenance.
Shifts in highway projects and bonds
The State Highway 58 project is canceled. This cancellation is not treated as project completion for certain statutory purposes. Region 2’s bond allocation is set at $195.95 million, down $6 million, and the project list changes. The Department of Transportation may also use up to $85 million in unobligated federal funds for the amended 2017 project list.
Targeted shifts in school funding
Each year, $55 million moves from the State School Fund to the High Cost Disabilities Account. Every two years, $39.5 million goes to the Educator Advancement Fund and, to make this shift, total State School Fund distributions drop by $6 million; school districts and education service districts each drop by $16.75 million, with biennial adjustments under ORS 291.204. Also every two years, $12.5 million goes to the Statewide English Language Learner Program. Another $2 million goes to the Healthy School Facilities Fund only for lead‑in‑water and PCB testing. Up to $5.595 million pays for menstrual products statewide each biennium. Each year, $2.5 million supports the Small School District Supplement Fund.
Payroll timing rules for state workers
Listed state officers and employees paid from the State Treasury must be paid at least once each month. For the Department of Transportation and any agency authorized by the Director of the Department of Administrative Services, payrolls are prepared and sent at the end of each payroll period. These rules adjust pay timing and payroll processing.
Longer deadline for offender classifications
The Board of Parole and Post‑Prison Supervision must finish classifying existing registrants by June 30, 2030. The State Police must enter the results into the statewide law enforcement data system after they receive them.
New lottery share for county fairs
Beginning July 1, 2027, one percent of net Oregon State Lottery proceeds goes to the County Fair Account. This applies only when unobligated lottery proceeds are available and after bond and constitutional priorities are met.
One-time transfers to General Fund
On May 31, 2027, $23 million moves from the State Information Technology Operating Fund to the General Fund. On the same date, $29.7 million moves from the Oregon Infrastructure Finance Fund to the General Fund. These are one-time reallocations for general state purposes.
