CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS AND MEASURES
REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE BY THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
YES
NO
YES
NO
1 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BROADENING VETERANS
LOAN ELIGIBILITY Purpose: Article XIA amended authorizing
farm and home loans to Oregon Veterans with 210 days of ac
tive duty service, part of which service occurred after January
31, 1955, or discharged for disability. Application to be made
within 20 years after leaving service. World War II cutoff date
changed from December 31, 1946 to July 25, 1947. World War
II and Korean veterans qualify where part of 90 day service
occur within war dates.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: An estimated 60,000 ad
ditional Veterans would be made eligible for Oregon Veterans'
farm and home loans upon passage of this amendment, and
an approximate 9,000 each year thereafter. To meet the loan
needs of this new group, additional bonds would have to be
sold In the amount of $3,500,000 prior to June 30, 1969, and
$10,000,000 for the following two-year period. This money, plus
Interest, would be repaid by the Veteran borrowers, so there
would be no cost to the State or the taxpayers.
2. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR REMOVAL OF JUDGES
Purpose: Empowers legislature to provide procedure for Supreme
Court to remove Judge of any court from office for:
(a) Conviction In any state or federal court of a crime punish
able as felony or which Involves moral turpitude; or
(b) Wilful misconduct in a judicial office, involving moral tur
pitude; or
(c) Wilful or persistent failure to perform judicial duties; or
(d) Habitual drunkenness or illegal use of narcotic drugs.
Amendment's removal procedure and Article II, section 18, recall
provision, made exclusive.
3. EMPOWERING LEGISLATURE TO EXTEND OCEAN BOUNDAR- ..
IES Purpose: Amends Article XVI, Oregon Constitution. Per- YE5 I I
mits legislature to extend state's seaward boundaries or Juris-
diction under authority of laws heretofore or hereafter enacted NO L
by Congress of United States.
4. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BROADENING COUNTY DEBT
LIMITATION Purpose: Broadens present county constitutional YES I I
debt limitation so as to authorize agreements to purchase or
lease real or personal property for a period not to exceed 10 NO LJ
years. Agreements entered into by a county must be made pur
suant to law and for a public purpose.
5. GOVERNMENT CONSOLIDATION CITY-COUNTY OVER 300,000
Purpose: Amends Section 2a, Article XI of the Oregon Consti- YES I I
tution. This amendment would provide for the consolidation of
city-county governments in counties having a city with more NO U2
than 300,000 inhabitants. The Legislative Assembly Is to provide
by law the manner of consolidating the government so that it
may function under one set of officers. Incorporation to be
made under general laws providing for municipalities. Nonincon
sistent provisions of constitution are still applicable to cities
and counties.
PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
6. BOND ISSUE TO ACQUIRE OCEAN BEACHES Purpose: Consti-
tutional amendment confirming existing public rights to ocean YES O
beaches and accesses. Authorizes state acquisition of privately
owned beaches bordering Pacific Ocean from extreme low tide NO EH
to natural vegetation line, and accesses. Authorizes at any one
time not to exceed $30,000,000 state general obligation bonds for
acquisition. Prohibits construction of highways on beaches and
ocean sand spits. Imposes for four years one cent per gallon
tax on fuel for private passenger motor vehicles to retire bonds.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: The proposed amendment
authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds by the Leg
islature in amounts up to $30 million at any one time, plus the
interest payable on such indebtedness. Such bonds, if retired,
could be reissued for the purposes of the amendment. The
amendment further provides that a lc per gallon increased pas
senger vehicle fuel tax be levied for four years with the pro
ceeds dedicated to retirement of the bonds and interest. State
revenues from this source are estimated to be $41.5 million for
the four year period. Additional revenues to the State would
accrue from the interest earned on these funds between the
time of their collection and the time of their application in pay
ment of principal and interest on the bonds.
7. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT CHANGING PROPERTY TAX
LIMITATION Purpose: Repeals 6 limitation. Limits property YES D
'ftAca iu -a o iiiamei value.
Exempts: (1) Existing bonded indebtedness;
(2) levies approved in November by majority equaling
20 of registered voters.
NO
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: If the voters approve
this proposed constitutional amendment, the State Tax Commis
sion estimates that property taxes levied locally by counties
cities, school districts and special districts such as rural fire
protection districts would be reduced by about $150 million in
the first year of its effect.
The State would then automatically collect at least $6,500 000
more after the first year from personal Income taxes, corpora
tion excise taxes and other taxes. This gain in State revenues
would result primarily from: (1) smaller deductions for proper
ty taxes on itemized income tax returns of homeowners; and
(2) smaller property tax deductions on business and commercial
property owners' income tax returns. v-ommerciai
The administrative costs to carry out this proposed amendment
cannot be determined until enabling legislation is enacted
Oregon law limits this statement to the effect of this proposed
amendment on State government finance.
