New Laws Affect Every Oregon! an More than 1.500 bills a new record were introduced at the 1969 Oregon legislative session. Only a small percentage of these gained final approval of both houses, but they represent new laws and many of them will strongly affect the life of every citizen. Following is a rundown, as the 1969 session draws to a close, on some of its actions of particular significance. Reorganization Made Reorganization of state gov ernment is one of the legislative accomplishments. Changes move Oregon toward a Cabinet type government, establishing a clear and direct line of centralized au thority under the governor. In several instances, related functions of far-flung agencies have been grouped into new de partments for better coordina tion and control. The Board of Control has been abolished and many functions now will be the governor's responsibility. The State Sanitary Authority be comes the Environmental Qual ity Commission and operates directly under the governor. Bills also have passed to strengthen authority of the leg islative branch. More changes will come if voters next May approve a new State Constitu tion finally referred after sev eral sessions of disagreement on scope and content Two of ru provisions will allow legislator to call themselves into special session and increase the num ber of lawmakers in both Senate and House. Zoning Gets Attention Zoning has gained attention.

Counties must zone all land in the state before 1972 or the governor is authorized to do the Job. In coping with school financ ing, lawmakers increased state basic school support by $20 mil lion for the next two years and changed the support distribu tion formula to put more mon ey Into flat grants and less in to the equalization schedule. Several bills resulted from the school management study submitted by the Business Task Force on Education. One allows the statae to extend its favor able credit rating to local school districts to purchase bonds;t it could save taxpayers up to $4 million In 10 years. Another study result was legislative au thorizatlon and appropriation of up to $225,000 to conduct a bus iness - management Investiga tion of higher education. Pollution Control Underway Building on last session's successes In pollution control this legislature approved use of state's credit for municipal bonds to install pollution con trol facilities up to state stand ards. It strengthened the defin ition and policy of air quality It call! for a sampling pro gram 'A air pollution sources. afvi tjM t?.T4 fire permit reg titA'.yjrA and control for field and sLajth burning. Voters next May will decide whether to extend voting priv ileges to Oregon 19-year-olds Solons strengthened the Corrupt Practices Act and other aspects of election laws: candidates in the future must report campaign expenditures before Instead of after an election; a losing can didate no longer will automat ically assume an elected posit ion if his victor is not seated for reasons of legal question, but the position will be filled by another election or appoint ment As a result of this year's ses sion, unemployed persons will draw maximum weekly benefits of $55, up from $49 previously. Increased benefits also will be due to those Injured on the job and to their dependents. State Takes Welfare The legislature gave the state authority to take over county welfare costs and Increased the percentage of liquor revenue going to cities. It adopted a 12- year phase-out program for Ore gon's inventory tax, limited pen alties for late filing of personal property tax returns to a max imum $1,000, and passed a law tying Oregon personal income tax returns to federal taxable income to create uniformity. Lawmakers authorized forma tion of a service district by met ropolitan counties for the pur pose of developing a mass tran sit system. They liberalized abortion laws slightly and gave the governor power to declare a state of emergency in case of immediate threat to state prop erty, including higher education campuses. This legislature declared steel- head to be a game fish, except for incidental catches made by commercial fishermen. GENERAL FUND RESOURCES FOR THE FISCAL TEAR 1969-1970.
