STATE MEASURES
REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE BY THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
1. EXTENDS GOVERNOR'S VETO DEADLINE AFTER LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNS: REQUIRES PRIOR ANNOUNCEMENT
QUESTION: Shall constitutional deadline for Governor's veto after legislature adjourns
be extended and Governor required to announce possible intent to veto?
EXPLANATION:Constitutional amendment referred by legislature. Extends Governor's
deadline for vetoing bill after legislature adjourns from 20 to 30 days after adjournment.
Maintains five day deadline for vetoing bills presented to Governor more than five days
before adjournment. Requires Governor to announce publicly, at least five days before
vetoing a bill after adjournment, Governor's "possible intention" to veto, but does not
require veto of bill after announcement. Excludes Saturdays as well as Sundays in
computing deadlines.
YES 104
NO 105
2. COMMON SCHOOL FUND INVESTMENTS; USING INCOME FOR STATE
LANDS MANAGEMENT
QUESTION:Shall Oregon Constitution allow Common School Fund investment in stocks,
and payment of state lands management expenses from investment income?
EXPLANATION: Constitutional amendment referred by legislature.Allows state to invest
Common School Fund moneys in corporate stocks. Allows State Land Board to apply,as
it considers appropriate, income from Common School Fund investments to expenses of
managing state lands. Requires that remainder of Common School Fund investment in-
come be applied to supporting primary and secondary education as"prescribed by law:'
Constitution now bans such stock investment and requires use of all investment income
for education support.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECT—In the short run, there will be a slight decrease or
leveling off of Common School Fund income being distributed to schools. In the long run,
there will be significant gain in income being distributed to schools. It is estimated that by
the end of 12 years, the principal of the Common School Fund would grow by over 77%
and the distribution to schools would grow by over 16%.

REFERRED TO THE PEOPLE BY THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY
3. REQUIRES THE USE OF SAFETY BELTS
QUESTION: Shall law, effective December 8, 1988, require safety belt use by motor
vehicle drivers and passengers over 16?
EXPLANATION: Referred to voters. Approval enacts law requiring that motor vehicle
drivers wear safety belts and secure passengers under 16 with safety belts,harnesses,or
small child safety systems. Passengers over 16 must secure themselves. Requires
vehicle owners to keep seatbelts in working order. Driver, owner, passenger violations
are Class D Traffic infractions. Provides exemptions. Law takes
effect December 8, 1988.Voter rejection means prior law, requiring
safety restraints only for passengers under 16, is effective. YES 123
NO 124
PROPOSED BY INITIATIVE PETITION
4. REQUIRES FULL SENTENCES WITHOUT PAROLE, PROBATION FOR
CERTAIN REPEAT FELONIES
QUESTION:Shall law be amended to require certain repeat felony offenders to serve full
sentences without parole, probation or other reduction?
EXPLANATION: Amends criminal sentencing laws. Eliminates "indeterminate
sentences," probation and parole for persons convicted of any of the following class of
crimes after previous conviction of any crime in the class: murder; and first degree
manslaughter,assault, kidnapping, rape,sodomy, sexual penetration with foreign object,
burglary, arson and robbery. Such offenders must serve their entire sentences without
temporary leave, reduction for "good behavior" or prison employment. Affects crimes
committed on or after January 1, 1990.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECT—Assuming continuation of current judicial sen-
tencing practices, this measure would require construction of additional correction
facilities at an estimated cost of between $176 and $184 million,
depending on costs of land acquisition and utilities. The annual
operating cost for needed facilities is estimated to be approximately YES 134
$35 million.

5. FINANCES INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC FUND BY INCREASING MALT
BEVERAGE, CIGARETTE TAXES
QUESTION: Shall taxes on malt beverages(such as beer)and cigarettes be increased
in order to finance an Intercollegiate Athletic Fund?
EXPLANATION:Amends Oregon statutes. Increases malt beverage(beer,ale,etc.)tax
by 10 cents per gallon. Prohibits further increases in malt beverage tax until after
December 1999. Increases cigarette tax by one cent per 20 cigarette package. Money
from increased taxes goes into new Intercollegiate Athletic Fund to assist sports pro-
grams, profitable or not, at state colleges, universities. State Board of Higher Education
divides Fund money based on athletic conferences in which schools compete, and
schools' efforts to get private help for sports programs.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECT—The increase in the tax rate YES 143 N*
on beer and other malt beverages would raise an estimated $6.0
million next year for the Intercollegiate Athletic Fund. The increase NO 144 W*
in the tax rate on cigarettes would raise an estimated $2.8 million
next year for the Intercollegiate Athletic Fund.
An expected decline in sales of cigarettes and malt beverages due to the tax rate in-
creases for the Intercollegiate Athletic Fund would reduce the revenue to state and local
government recipients by an estimated $300,000.
6. INDOOR CLEAN AIR LAW REVISIONS BANNING PUBLIC SMOKING
QUESTION:Shall law restricting public smoking be expanded to forbid smoking in most
indoor, enclosed workplaces and places serving the public?
EXPLANATION: Revises current Indoor Clean Air law that forbids smoking in some
public places. Forbids smoking areas in most indoor, enclosed workplaces and in most
places serving public. Excepts bars, hotel rooms,tobacco shops,and home workplaces
not used by public. Requires person in charge of place where law applies to ask smoker
to stop smoking or leave.Requires Health Division to enforce law. Forbids discrimination
against workers reporting violations or requesting enforcement of law.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECT—It is expected that the initial cost of this measure to
the state Health Division for providing consulting services and responding to inquiries
would be $58,000 annually. Annual costs would decline after the first three years.

7. OREGON SCENIC WATERWAY SYSTEM
QUESTION: Shall Oregon law designate more river sections as scenic waterways?
EXPLANATION:Adds more river sections to the"scenic waterways"system established
by existing state law. Effect is to designate as scenic waterways new sections of four pre-
viously designated waterways (Clackamas, Deschutes, John Day, Rogue) and seven
new river sections (parts of Elk, Klamath, McKenzie, Metolius, Nestucca, Umpqua,Wal-
lowa-Grande Ronde). Designation as scenic waterway protects scenic,fishery, wildlife
and recreation values along river. Prohibits dams and placer mining. Sets standards for
development within 1/4 mile of waterway. Does not affect Indian trust lands and tribal
rights.
ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECT—It is anticipated that in order to administer the 11
new rivers placed under Scenic Waterways,one additional planner would be added to the
staff of the Parks and Recreation Division of the Oregon Department
of Transportation, at an estimated annual cost of$38,000. In addi- YES 1640*
tion, management plans for the new rivers would be necessary to
evaluate and condition land use actions. The estimated one-time NO 165
cost for developing such plans, using existing data, would be
approximately $34,000.
8. REVOKES BAN ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION DISCRIMINATION IN STATE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH
QUESTION: Shall voters revoke Governor's authority to ban discrimination, based on
sexual orientation, in state executive department employment and services?
EXPLANATION: Enacts new law. Revokes Governor's order which bans discrimination,
based on sexual orientation, both in executive branch employment and in carrying out
executive branch duties within state government.Measure provides that no state official
shall forbid taking personnel action against a state employe because of the employe's
sexual orientation. Measure permits state officials to forbid taking personnel actions
against state employes based on nonjob related factors. For the purposes of this
measure, sexual orientation means heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality.
