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.

tablished by some 40,000 geo
graphical coordinates. 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

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.
