STATE MEASURES REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE BY THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY AMENDS CONSTITUTION: RE - 49 STRICTS INMATE LAWSUITS; AL- LOWS INTERSTATE SHIPMENT OF PRISON MADE PRODUCTS. RESULT OF "YES" VOTE: A O YES "yes" vote restricts inmate law- suits about work assignments, allows interstate shipment of prison made products. RESULT OF "NO" VOTE: A "no" vote means inmate lawsuits are O NO possible and prison made prod- ucts will not be shipped in in- terstate commerce. SUMMARY: This measure modifies current pro- visions in the Oregon Constitution establishing requirements forwork programs for state prison inmates. The changes contained in the measure: (1) make it clear that inmates have no right to a job or to participate in work, on-the-job training or educational programs; (2) provide that the restrictions on uses of compensation earned by state prison inmates for work they perform are subject to requirements of federal law in order to allow corrections officials to continue operat- ing federally certified prison industries; and (3) modify the definition of "full-time" to include time spent on security measures and transportation of inmates while inmates are participating in work ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL IMPACT: The measure will allow the Department of Corrections to con- tinue interstate sales of garments and furniture, which generated an estimated $549,000 in gross revenue in fiscal year 1995-1996. Revenues as a result of this measure may be a funding source forthe development and mainte- nance of the Prison Reform and Inmate Work Act of 1994, and may reduce the costs of incarcerat- ing inmates. WARNING Any person who, by use of force or other means, unduly influences an elector to vote in any particular man- ner or to refrain from voting, is subject, upon conviction, to imprisonment or to a fine, or both. STATE MEASURES (CONT) 50 AMENDS CONSTITUTION: LIMITS ASSESSED VALUE OF PROPERTY FOR TAX PURPOSES; LIMITS PROPERTY TAX RATES YES RESULT OF "YES" VOTE: Ayes" vote adopts amendment limiting property taxes through restric- tions on assessed value of prop- erty and property tax rates. RESULT OF "NO" VOTE: A "no" O NO vote rejects amendment and retains existing constitutional provisions. SUMMARY: This measure changes current pro- visions relating to property taxation. The mea- sure establishes the maximum assessed value of property in this state for the 1997-1998 tax year as 90 percent of the property's real market value in the 1995-1996 tax year and then limits any increase in maximum assessed value for tax years following 1997-1998 to three percent per year. For the 1997-1998 tax year, the measure generally reduces the total of all taxing district levies in the state by 17 percent. This reduction will reflect Measure 47 cuts by basing the cuts on the lesser of the 1995-1996 tax minus 10 percent or the 1994-1995 tax, adjusted for voter - approved levies. For subsequent tax years, the measure permanently fixes the tax rates of each taxing district, based on each district's 1997-1998 levy. The measure permits assessed values to be adjusted for new property or property improve- ments and certain other events, but limits the amount of the adjustment. The measure permits certain local option taxes, if approved by voters. The measure retains the existing total property tax rate for all property taxes, including local option taxes but excluding taxes for bonds, at $5 per $1,000 of value for schools and $10 per $1,000 of value for nonschool government. The measure re- peals obsolete constitutional provisions. ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL IMPACT: This measure replaces Measure 47, which was approved by voters last November. This measure reduces property tax revenues of local governments by $361 million in the 1997- 1998 fiscal year and $443 million in the 1998- 1999 fiscal year compared to what would have been collected under Measure 5. duce property tax revenue by as much as $458 million in 1997-1998 and $548 million in 1998- 1999. However, the reduction could be as little as $270 million per year based on a recent Attorney General's opinion and depending on how the courts and the legislature further interpret Measure 47. This measure is expected to reduce county costs of administering the property tax system by $5.1 million per year after the measure is fully imple- mented. This measure could reduce state income tax re- ceipts by as much as $2.3 million per year by allowing higher property tax deductions. DESCHUTES COUNTY 9-50 SHERIFF ONE-YEAR SPLIT OPERATING LEVY.
