House Revenue Committee adopts one-year freeze amendment to House Bill 2,092
Summary
The House Committee on Revenue voted to adopt the dash 6 amendment to House Bill 2,092, pausing Oregon's automatic alignment with changes to the federal tax code for one tax year. Committee members debated taxpayer complications if Congress acts retroactively and advanced the bill to the House floor as amended.
Chair Nathanson opened a March 13 work session of the House Committee on Revenue on House Bill 2,092, the annual bill that determines how Oregon aligns its tax law with federal changes. Representative Lori Walters moved adoption of the dash 6 amendment dated 03/07/2025, which the Legislative Revenue Office described as "a one-year freeze."
Kyle (staff), who introduced the materials, told the committee the fiscal impact for both the dash 6 and dash 7 amendments was "indeterminate" because the federal tax code has not been finalized. Chris Alenac of the Legislative Revenue Office said, "With the dash 6, it's a 1 year freeze," and explained the practical effect: if Congress takes no action, "it's business as usual" for 2025, but a congressional change that applies retroactively to tax year 2025 could leave Oregon taxpayers excluded from any new federal benefit because the state would be frozen to the earlier law.
