Description |
Measure 104 would define raising revenue in Section 25 of Article IV of the Oregon Constitution to include changes to tax exemptions, credits, and deductions that result in increased revenue, as well as the creation or increase of taxes and fees.
As of 2017, Section 25(2) required a three-fifths vote of each state legislative chamber to pass bills raising revenue. Oregon's constitution states, "Three-fifths of all members elected to each House shall be necessary to pass bills for raising revenue." Voters passed this requirement as Measure 25 in 1996. In 2015, the Oregon Supreme Court issued a ruling that the Legislative Counsel said excluded bills to reduce tax breaks, such as exemptions and credits, from the three-fifths vote requirement
