Committee votes to introduce committee bill addressing county assessor funding
Summary
During a work session the House Revenue Committee approved introduction of LC 4,053, a legislative concept from the Association of Oregon Counties proposing funding options for county assessment and taxation offices.
After closing the public hearing on House Bill 2,072, the committee opened a work session to consider introducing a committee measure addressing long‑term funding for county assessment and taxation (A&T) offices. LRO staff described the Legislative Concept (LC 4,053) as a package drafted at the request of the Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) to fund county assessor functions.
Representative Smith moved that LC 4,053 be introduced as a committee measure. Representative Smith stated the issue is “very, very important” and requires substantial deliberation. Members discussed disclosure of the requestor; the chair confirmed the measure was drafted at the request of the Association of Oregon Counties and that designation will appear on the printed bill. The committee voted by voice and the motion passed; the chair announced, “Motion passes then. We're introducing this as a committee bill.”
The action authorizes drafting and formal introduction of LC 4,053 so the concept can advance as committee legislation; no further substantive debate, amendments, or a final legislative text occurred during the session.
