Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

11 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 5 costs, 2 mixed.

Lottery debt payments come before programs

The law takes effect immediately and sets funding for the two years beginning July 1, 2025. Lottery bond debt service gets about $388.15 million, down from $389.97 million, covering principal, interest, and any premium due. The Department of Administrative Services allocates money quarterly and pays bond debt first when lottery transfers fall short. Remaining money goes to other designated allocations, which face proportional cuts when it cannot cover them. This protects timely debt payments but leaves program funding exposed to lottery revenue shortfalls.

School funding falls despite small offset

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the law cuts two education allocations. The State School Fund gets about $584.16 million from the Administrative Services Economic Development Fund, down from $606.50 million. Statewide education initiatives get about $541.29 million, down from $559.44 million, replacing the usual percentage-based transfer formula. A separate marijuana-revenue allocation to the State School Fund rises by $302 to about $43.57 million. The law does not specify changes at individual schools.

More funding for police and training

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, criminal justice training and standards get about $67.99 million. That Criminal Fine Account allocation rises from about $65.85 million. A separate marijuana-revenue allocation to the State Police Account rises by $113 to about $16.34 million. These changes fund public safety agencies, not direct household payments.

More funding for veterans’ support services

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the law increases five allocations from the Veterans’ Services Fund. Veterans’ department operations get about $2.87 million, and appeals and special advocacy get about $2.19 million. Strategic partnerships get about $15.68 million, and services for aging veterans get about $3.67 million. Veterans’ apprenticeship outreach and coordination get $313,904, up from $307,006. These increases do not create direct payments, change eligibility, or guarantee apprenticeship placement.

Small funding gains for behavioral health

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, two marijuana-revenue allocations for behavioral health rise slightly. Oregon Health Authority gets about $21.78 million for mental health and substance use services, an increase of $151. Its Health Systems Division gets about $5.45 million for substance use prevention, early intervention, and treatment, an increase of $38. These allocations do not set individual eligibility or service amounts.

More funding for business development programs

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the law raises four business and regional development allocations. Oregon Business Development Department operations get about $21.68 million, and business, innovation, and trade programs get about $77.82 million. Its infrastructure programs get about $6.03 million. The Governor’s Regional Solutions Program gets about $5.40 million for program expenses. These allocations do not name specific projects or promise payments to businesses or households.

Court security loses fine revenue funding

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, two Criminal Fine Account allocations for court security fall to $0. State court security and emergency preparedness previously received about $5.09 million. Distributions to county court security accounts previously received about $1.85 million. The law does not identify replacement funding or specify changes to court operations.

Crime victim programs lose fine revenue

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the law cuts three Criminal Fine Account allocations for victims. Criminal injury compensation gets about $9.43 million, down from $10.70 million. The allocation for specified Domestic Violence Fund services falls from about $2.85 million to $0. The Sexual Assault Victims Fund allocation falls from $630,635 to $0. These are cuts from this account, not statements that all funding or services end.

Less funding for gambling treatment

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the Problem Gambling Treatment Fund gets about $18.72 million. That is down from about $18.85 million. This fixed allocation from the Administrative Services Economic Development Fund replaces the usual percentage-based transfer for this period. The law does not change individual eligibility or specify service reductions.

Less money for drug treatment services

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the law reduces marijuana revenue going to drug treatment and recovery. The Drug Treatment and Recovery Services Fund gets about $176.78 million, down from $192.33 million. That removes about $15.55 million from this funding source. The law does not specify changes to individual benefits or whether other money replaces the cut.

Small cut to veterans’ dental funding

For the two years beginning July 1, 2025, the veterans’ dental program gets about $3.52 million. The Veterans’ Services Fund allocation to Oregon Health Authority falls by $1,003. The law does not specify changes to veterans’ eligibility, dental coverage, or out-of-pocket costs.
