Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.

Higher pay for Supreme Court judges

For January 1, 2019–June 30, 2020, annual salaries are $157,076 for Oregon’s Chief Justice and $154,040 for other Supreme Court judges. Each salary increases by $5,000 on July 1, 2020. Beginning July 1, 2025, annual salaries are $224,784 for the Chief Justice and $220,596 for other Supreme Court judges. Beginning July 1, 2027, each salary equals 110% of its July 1, 2025 amount, subject to statutory adjustments.

State workers get paid at least monthly

Oregon officers and employees paid from the State Treasury must receive pay at least once a month. Transportation payrolls and other agency payrolls approved by the state administrative services director use special processing procedures. These include payroll certification at each pay period’s end and periodic payments through designated pay officers. These rules do not change pay amounts.

School grants cover more pollution testing

Schools can use Healthy School Facilities Fund grants to test for elevated exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs. Grants also cover testing for elevated lead in water used for drinking or food preparation. This change expands allowed uses but does not itself add grant money.

Transportation upkeep gets $35 million

Beginning March 6, 2026, Oregon’s transportation department must spend $35 million from specified transportation revenues on operations and maintenance. Any unspent remainder keeps its existing allocation under state law. The provision does not name individual projects or provide household payments.

Region 2 loses highway project funding

Beginning March 6, 2026, Oregon’s Region 2 transportation allocation drops by $6 million, from $201.95 million to $195.95 million. The law removes Highway 58 passing lanes west of Oakridge from the eligible project list. The Oregon Transportation Commission must find that funded projects can legally use the specified highway revenues under Oregon’s Constitution.

More time to classify sex offenders

Oregon’s parole board has until June 30, 2030, to assign existing sex offender registrants to risk levels. The old deadline was December 1, 2026. The law extends the deadline but does not change the classification levels.

Technology and infrastructure money shifts statewide

On May 31, 2027, Oregon transfers $23 million from the State Information Technology Operating Fund to the General Fund. It also transfers $29.7 million from the Oregon Infrastructure Finance Fund on that date. The money supports general government purposes instead of remaining in those dedicated funds. The law does not name the projects or household services affected.
