OR HB3656

Elections for local option tax measures (for counties, cities, and other political subdivisions) must be held only on the date of general elections in even-numbered years, rather than at any eligible election date

Exception allows a local option tax extension measure to be placed on a primary election ballot in an odd-numbered year if the original tax was rejected at the preceding general election and will expire that calendar year

Extension measures placed on odd-numbered year primary ballots must not make substantive changes to the tax and may have retroactive effect to the expiration date of the original tax

Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die of the 2025 regular legislative session
