OPENED PUBLIC HEARING ON HB 3642
|
093 114 |
Paul Warner Warner |
Described finding that the May 2003 Economic Forecast meets one of
the Constitutional conditions for accessing the Education Stability Fund
(ESB), (Exhibit 1). Discussed
conditions for access of ESB. Discussed Revenue Impact, (Exhibit 2) and methods for payment transfer. |
|
130 |
Chair Shetterly |
This is drafted stating a percentage rather than dollar amount,
because there is the possibility of an increase in lottery revenues in the
next biennium, and would thereby capture a share of the additional revenues. |
|
138 |
Warner |
Video poker has had a tendency to exceed forecast. |
|
165 |
Julie Suchanek |
Understand difficult position and fiscal crisis Oregon is in, for the
record, ESF moneys fund the Oregon Opportunity Grant which is a state-funded
need-based aid grant for post secondary education students attending a
community college and other institutions.
Transfers away from the ESB have a direct negative impact to the
number of grants available. Hope the
process could continue to prioritize access to post secondary education and
maximize opportunities to have access to post secondary education. |
|
167 |
Warner |
Fiscal is in the process of estimating lost earnings for the two
months at the end of the next biennium. |
|
169 |
Chair Shetterly |
Has Treasury looked at this for technical purposes? |
|
172 |
Kate Richardson |
The Treasurer has look at this for technical purposes. |
|
177 |
Chair Shetterly |
Has the Treasurer found any technical defects in the draft; is it
wanting? |
|
179 |
Richardson |
The bill as drafted appears to work technically. Transfer date is May
1, 2005. That date will maximize earnings on moneys accumulating to address
the beneficiaries. It doesn’t take care of the problem of future bienniums. |
