[Irrlist] Public Hearing Notice for Explanatory & Financial Est. Statements

Mon Jul 28 11:33:17 PDT 2008

Dear interested parties: This is a hearing notice that has been sent out
previously, with the reason for re-sending it today being to include all
of the draft explanatory statements from the Explanatory Statement
Committees, as well as all of the draft Financial Estimate statements
and Financial Estimate explanatory statements from the Financial
Estimate Committee. Note that under ORS 250.127, the Financial Estimate
Committee may prepare both an estimate of financial impact as well as a
statement explaining the financial effects. This is why for most of the
petitions, you'll find a draft Explanatory Statement; a draft Financial
Estimate and a draft Financial Estimate Explanatory Statement.
Additionally, we have been informed that a larger hearing room is no
longer available in the Capital due to construction. Thanks, Norma
Buckno

PUBLIC HEARINGS SCHEDULED FOR ACCEPTING TESTIMONY ON PROPOSED BALLOT
MEASURE EXPLANATORY AND FINANCIAL ESTIMATE STATEMENTS
FOR THE 2008 GENERAL ELECTION

SALEM -- Public hearings have been scheduled for draft explanatory
statements (drafted by the explanatory committee per petition or
legislative referral) and draft financial estimate statements filed with
the Secretary of State’s Office. The hearings will be held at the same
time for accepting testimony for both the explanatory statements and
financial estimate statements. Attached are all of the draft explanatory
statements, financial estimate statements and financial estimate
explanatory statements that have been received by this office.

Each explanatory statement committee is responsible for preparing an
“impartial, simple and understandable statement . . . not to exceed
500 words” to explain each measure. The financial estimate committee
estimates the amount of direct state and local expenditures, direct
reductions of state and local expenditures, direct reductions in state
and local revenue and direct state or local tax revenues or indebtedness
and interest caused by passage of a measure. 

Parties interested in submitting written or oral testimony for any of
the statements may attend the public hearing, as scheduled below.
Testimony may be submitted at any time prior to the hearing date;
delivered, mailed, by fax (503-373-7414), or by email to
norma.j.buckno at state.or.us. However, testimony must be filed no later
than the adjournment of each hearing (note: IP 40 and Ref. 408 are
scheduled for 7/30/08 hearings, but these hearings will be recessed and
reconvened for a short hearing time on 7/31/2008 from 4:00 pm to

suggestions and any other information submitted at the hearing.
