LFO. Submits Fiscal Impact statement and Staff

HB 4029 - WORK SESSION |
|
|||
|
119 |
John Britton |
LFO. Submits Staff Measure Summary, Fiscal
Impact Statement, and the HB 4029-1 amendments (EXHIBIT C). Explains
that HB 4029 is necessary to reduce adult dental benefits for the new
eligibles or non-categorical eligibles in the Oregon Health Plan. A bill was passed during the last special
session and it has been modified to clean up some unintended things. The HB 4029-1 amendment is language
received from Oregon Medical Assistance Program (OMAP) and been agreed to by
Rep. Hayden. |
|
|
|
151 |
Jim Bunn |
Northwest Dental
Services. States that the bill as
amended would do virtually and exactly what was the intent in SB 1008 passed
last special session. States they can
live with the bill. It is a cut but
protects the most vulnerable under the OHP.
|
|
|
|
160 |
Chair Westlund |
Comments he has a great
deal of concern for the issue Bunn raises and appreciates the efforts of
Bunn, staff and Rep. Hayden. |
|
|
|
163 |
Rep. Morgan |
Comments that one draft
previously discussed listed the co-payment amounts. Asks if Britton can tell the committee if they need to discuss
that on the record. |
|
|
|
167 |
Britton |
Responds that HB 4029 does
not include the list of co-payments.
States that as a courtesy to Rep. Hayden, he agreed we would enter
into the record a portion of LC 26 (EXHIBIT
D). States that the portion of LC
26 is not an amendment but does lay out the co-payments and the intent of HB
4029. |
|
|
|
177 |
Rep. Schrader |
Asks if it will be
included in the budget narrative. |
|
|
|
|
Britton |
Responds that the
information can be included in the Staff Measure Summary. Explains that the portion of LC 26 is a
listing of all the dental co-payments that mirrors what is going on under the
proposed OHP2 waiver. |
|
|
|
185 |
Rep. Morgan |
Asks that the record
clearly reflect that it is the intent of the committee that these should be
the level of co-pays that go along with the language of the bill. |
|
|
|
188 |
Chair Westlund |
Comments that the co-pays
are the same reflected in the bill in the first special session. |
|
|
|
188 |
Britton |
Comments that Chair
Westlund is correct. |

HB 4030 - WORK SESSION |
|
|||
|
220 |
Larry Niswender |
Explains HB 4030 is
identical to the bill passed during session relating to a one-time transfer
of $14 million from the Emergency Communication account and sub-accounts to
help the statewide budget rebalance plan. |
|
|
|
227 |
Rep. Morgan |
MOTION: Moves HB 4030 to the floor with a DO PASS
recommendation. |
|
|
|
211 |
Rep. Schrader |
Asks if there has been
potential legal issues raised regarding using the entire reserve. |
|
|
|
|
Chair Westlund |
Asks Hasina Squire to
speak to the potential for legal issues. |
|
|
|
221 |
Hasina Squires |
Special Districts
Association of Oregon. States that
the issue revolves around the possibility of someone challenging the fact
that the 9-1-1 tax is levied on those people that have telephones capable of
accessing 9-1-1. It is a line item on
the phone bill that indicates it will go to fund 9-1-1 programs. Believes there is a concern that someone
from the utilities may have issues about collecting a tax and sending it
through the state for an intended purpose and it then being diverted to the
State General Fund. Adds that she
does not know about any pending legal challenges, she only knows about the
conversations that have been had about the issue coming up in other
states. |
|
|
|
270 |
Rep. Schrader |
Comments he had an
opportunity to visit the 9-1-1 center in Clackamas County. In the initial discussions it seemed that
we were just putting off consolidation to try to get down to one 9-1-1
facility and that it was his understanding that is what most of the reserve
money was dedicated to. A separate
issue that has been brought up is that the federal government has indicated there
are some requirements that all 9-1-1 facilities are supposed to have the
advanced video capability. The
Clackamas 9-1-1 center is very concerned about getting it into place so they
do not have a legal issue with the federal government. Asks if Squires has heard anything about
the concern. |
|
|
|
287 |
Squires. |
Responds that HB 4030
takes $7 million from the consolidation incentive fund. That money was set aside for the next
session to determine how to spend that.
The other $7 million is coming from the enhanced 9-1-1
sub-account. The advanced video
capability is a federal mandate by the Federal Communications Commission that
primary public safety answering points be able to locate wireless cellular
telephones, and is called Phase II Wireless Enhanced 9-1-1. That is what the money has been set aside
for. |
|
|
|
307 |
Rep. Schrader |
Asks if there is a
timeline. |
|
|
|
|
Squires |
Responds the FCC original
timeline was set for October 1, 2001.
The wireless utilities petitioned the FCC asking for time. They expect that technology to be
completed in six to twelve months in Oregon.
One pilot project has been run in Benton County and in the second or
third quarter of this year, Josephine, Jackson, and Douglas will have the
technology available. |
|
|
|
293 |
Acting Chair Morgan |
States that the committee
has a motion before it. |
|
|
|
329 |
Rep. Schrader |
States he will object to
the motion to raise the issue to let people know what is going on but may
vote for passage on the floor. |

|
|
|
HB 4035 - WORK SESSION |
||||
|
368 |
Larry Niswender |
LFO. Explains HB 4035 is identical to the
omnibus program change bill that was passed in the first special
session. HB 4035 redirects various
transactions to increase the amount of General Fund available for statewide
budget rebalance: ·
Redirects one-half the proceeds from the sale of the Boardman
property to the General Fund, about $3.7 million. ·
Reduces lottery allocation to the County Fair Account by approximately
$40,000. ·
Authorizes the use of the Worker's Benefit Fund for civil rights
claims in lieu of General Fund for about $500,000. ·
Reduces the maximum amount transferred to the Oregon Rural Health
Association from $15 million to $7.5 million. ·
Transfers $1 million from the Law Enforcement Medical Liability
account, and $2.5 million from the JOBS individual education account to the
Department of Human Services to offset General Fund. ·
Eliminates $200,000 General Fund support to the Board of Education;
it is now budgeted in the Governor's office. ·
Eliminates $218,000 General Fund support for the post secondary
Opportunity Commission. ·
Repeals a special purpose appropriation for a centralized voter
registration system. ·
Includes a technical fix for the Department of Human Services so it
can distribute $1.1 million for a workers' compensation self-insurance pool. ·
Allows a $3 million transfer from the Housing and Community Services
Housing Finance Fund to the Emergency Housing Assistance account. ·
Allows Washington County to utilize more of its rail project funds to
leverage available federal grant funds. |

HB 4036 - WORK SESSION |
|
|||
|
417 |
Steve Meyers |
Legislative Revenue
Office. Explains HB 4036 is a repeat
of the measure in the first special session.
It allows school districts to use their School Improvement Fund moneys
for any purpose related to education instead of for the mandates in the
School Improvement Act. It also
repeals the section that would require the funds in the 2001-03 and 2003-05
biennia to be used to improve third and fifth grade reading and math
scores. The School Improvement Fund
would still exist. Adds that these
are temporary changes for the use of those funds by the school
districts. |

HJR 75 - WORK SESSION |
|
|||
|
039 |
Paul Warner |
Legislative Revenue
Office. Distributes impact statement (EXHIBIT E) and explains that the
measure would go on the May 2002 ballot.
It requires rescinding SJR 50 that was passed in the first special
session. It revises the Oregon
Constitution and converts the Education Endowment Fund into the Education
Stability Fund. It dedicates 15
percent of lottery earnings to the fund. Lottery earnings in this biennium will be about $106 million
from the 15 percent dedication. The
Stability Fund becomes operational on April 30, 2003. On May 1, 2003, there is a transfer of
$200 million from the fund to the State School Fund. Legislative Revenue Office estimates that
following the $200 million transfer and the $106 million dedication going in
this biennium, that the fund balance on July 1, 2003 would be about $78
million. |
|
|
|
069 |
Rep. Lee |
Comments she is concerned
about the $200 million and that can be discussed further on the floor. Adds that she is willing to move this
through the committee. |
|
|
|
075 |
Rep. Shetterly |
Acknowledges a bar chart
that he requested and has been passed out by Warner that assumes passage of
HJR 75 by this Assembly and the voters (EXHIBIT
F). Explains that the chart shows
the transfer of $200 million from the Stability Fund in this biennium and
carries out what we could expect to see over the next ten years. It starts at about a $78 million balance. The blue represent the figures with
earnings reinvested into the Stability Fund at 7.33 percent, which is the
blended earnings in the Common School Fund over the next five years. This fund is capable of being invested in
equities as the Common School Fund is.
States that he asked Warner to project the growth with the 7.33
percent with all earnings reinvested.
The yellow bars represent the growth of the fund if only the lottery
payments and no earnings are reinvested.
There is a spread of just over $900 million in 10 years on the high
side to just over $600 million on the shy side. Believes this represents substantial growth anticipating the
timing for the next recession will follow historic trends and will be in
about 2010. |
|
|
|
104 |
Rep. Shetterly |
States that HJR 75 is substantially
the same as SJR 50 except it is in the form of a revision, not an amendment,
and will require 40 votes on the floor. |
|
|
|
108 |
Rep. Schrader |
Comments he has some
reservation about the total amount of money that is being used, but wants to
move the measure forward. States that
the investment language is critical to the better utilization of the
fund. Asks if they have been able to
do this all along, why have they not done so, and asks if statutory
clarification is needed to make sure this is followed in the future. |
|
|
|
|
Rep. Schrader |
Comments that the
Endowment Fund has not been invested in equities, at least not to the degree
of the Common School Fund. Wants to
make sure there is language to allow investments in equities, an appropriate
and prudent amount, and gain some benefit.
Asks why it has not been done and whether it would be better to give
direction that it can be done. |
|
|
|
143 |
Kate Richardson |
Oregon State
Treasury. Comments she cannot comment
on the historic decisions about investment policies. Believes because the Oregon Growth Account
(OGA) is part of the Education Endowment Fund, there is a weighing going on
and the fund has been building over time.
Currently the bulk of the fund is setting in a short-term fund. |
|
|
|
159 |
Rep. Schrader |
Comments he will be voting
for the measure but the issue needs to be addressed, perhaps on the Senate
side. Is not comfortable that the
department is getting enough direction to feel comfortable in doing this. It has not been done for the last six to
eight years since the fund has been in existence. Believes the direction should be included in the measure. It is an opportunity that does not hurt
anything. |
|
|
|
|
Richardson |
Suggests it might be
helpful for the committee to have someone from Investments talk about the decisions
and explain why where it is. |
|
|
|
175 |
Rep. Shetterly |
Comments there has not
been much money in the fund until this biennium. States he is assured by Treasury and Legislative Counsel that
the language is entirely sufficient to authorize investment in equities. States he would not want language in the
Constitution that directs investments in equity. |
|
|
|
191 |
Rep. Schrader |
States that the legality
of rescinding SJR 50 has come into question and would like some clarification
on the legislature's ability to do that. |
|
|
|
195 |
Rep. Shetterly |
Responds there is
precedent for the legislature rescinding a measure. It is on the strength
that if the legislature has the authority to send out a resolution to the
ballot, then before the resolution makes it to the ballot, the same
legislature has the authority to rescind the resolution. Adds that Legislative Counsel has pointed
out the precedent and the fact they think it is inherent in the powers of the
legislature to send out and rescind resolutions. |
|
|
|
208 |
Rep. Schrader |
Asks what the mechanism is
for the legislature to get it back. |
|
|
|
210 |
Rep. Shetterly |
States that he will refer
Rep. Schrader to Legislative Counsel for an explanation of the precedent, and
that the mechanism is in paragraph one of HJR 75 which simply declares that
SJR 50 from the first special session is rescinded. |
|
|
|
223 |
Rep. Lee |
Asks what the projected
balance would be on July 1, 2003 based on the withdrawal and the projected
earnings if the fund were depleted by $200 million. |
|
|
|
229 |
Warner |
Responds they have updated
the estimate. SJR 50 was based on the
December revenue forecast. The
increase in lottery resources, a big portion of which was use of the
contingency fund of the Lottery, about $20 million, is captured in the March
revenue forecast. It is reflected in
the graph and adds about $6 million to the projection for a revenue dedicated
to the fund. They are estimating
about $78 million on July 1, 2003, given a $200 million withdrawal on May 1. |
|
|
|
249 |
Rep. Lee |
Comments there is
currently about a $112 million deficit in school funds and if it goes to $312
million in the next biennium we won't be able to address it from this fund
again with that kind of a deficit. |
|
|
|
246 |
Warner |
Responds Rep. Lee is
correct. Explains that the chart (EXHIBIT F) assumes no more would be
withdrawn from the fund. |
|
|
|
254 |
Rep. Schrader |
Comments that with the
transfer, whatever the amount is, of the Educational Endowment Fund to the
State School Fund, the current service level rollup for the State School Fund
would not be adversely affected by using this money as opposed to General
Fund money. Asks if his comment is
correct. |
|
|
|
261 |
Warner |
Responds that the $200
million would replace current General Fund money that is going into the State
School Fund. Adds that the State
School Fund under the budget bill passed in the first special session was not
affected. The reason was the transfer
of money from the Stability Fund to the State School Fund, and as they would
project out the current service, they would project out the higher State
School Fund level. |
|
|
|
281 |
Cindy Hunt |
Legislative Counsel. Comments that the legislature has
rescinded measures three times before (in the 60's and 70's). There was never a challenge in court. States they have an opinion from their
office from the 60's and 70's that reasoned the legislature could do this and
it was based on sound, legal reasoning.
States that if the committee wishes to have the opinion in front of
them, Legislative Counsel can prepare it. |

Rep. Schrader |
Asks if paragraph one of
HJR 75 is enough to stop the Secretary of State from putting it on the
ballot. |
|
|
|

Hunt |
States that in two of the
three times, a measure was rescinded.
The third instance was repeal.
Adds that if HJR 75 does not pass the legislature, SJR 50 is on the
ballot in May. As soon as this
measure passes the legislature, SJR 50 is off the ballot even if the people
do not pass this measure. |

4013 becomes law, then sections one and two are repealed. |
