    June 22, 2020 Senate President Peter Courtney House Speaker Tina Kotek Oregon State Capitol 900 Court Street NE Salem, Oregon 97301 Sent via email Re: Statutory Corrections to the Corporate Activity Tax (H.B. 4009-A, 2020) Dear Senate President Courtney and House Speaker Kotek, On behalf of the Smart Growth Coalition and Council On State Taxation (C.O.S.T.), we are writing to express our continued concerns regarding statutory ambiguities complicating the implementation of the corporate activity tax (C.A.T.) and the crucial need for corrective legislation in the upcoming special session. To be clear, we are not asking for delaying the implementation or changing the structural design of the tax, but to enact clarifying amendments proposed during the 2020 session. While our organizations approached the enabling legislation differently, we are aligned in our commitment to working alongside the executive and legislative branches to ensure the C.A.T. functions as intended by the legislature. Through the development of the rules and regulations, however, it has become clear there are significant statutory ambiguities regarding the statutory subtraction, filing groups, and filing period. These provisions are inherently technical but represent the underpinnings required for every taxpayer to calculate the tax, and, thus, pose significant administrative and compliance obstacles without clarification. During the 2020 session, we worked closely with a technical working group to identify and recommend corrective measures to simplify the administrative and compliance burdens. Together with the Oregon Department of Revenue (“Department”) and Legislative Revenue Office, we agreed to a series of statutory corrections designed to resolve the known ambiguities.

In addition to the standard policy and budget committees, the Oregon House of Representatives will have new committees in the upcoming session to address timely issues, including wildfire recovery, redistricting, institutional reform of the Legislature, as well as subcommittees focusing on COVID-19 response, equitable policing and the return of a policy committee dedicated to early childhood issues. “Oregonians are facing crises that demand urgent action. The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

  • OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism Is a Public Health Crisis
    OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism is a Public Health Crisis Purpose • Declare racism as a public health crisis in Oregon. • Acknowledge Oregon’s racist history and its current day impact on policies and systems that perpetuate in- stitutional racism which causes harm, trauma, illness and death to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Oregonians, and the need to heal these injustices through accelerated intentional actions. • Articulate investments and strategies needed to address health inequities among BIPOC Oregonians and Oregon Tribes: Invest in the following key strategies: 1. The collection of race, ethnicity, language, and disability (REAL-D) data is critical for better understanding population health by systematically measuring more granular level data to reveal the unique inequities faced by specific communities across the state. In turn, this data informs future investments in addressing health inequi- ties to focus efforts specifically where they are needed most and thereby more effectively and efficiently use and save state resources. a. Expands the collection of REAL-D data to all state agencies, subcontractors and vendors as practica- ble. b. Clarifies representation on advisory committees that informs updates to data collection standards are diverse and include at minimum: BIPOC community members, the nine federally recognized Oregon Tribes (if there is interest in participating), people with disabilities, and people with limited English profi- ciency. 2. Local public health authorities provide data to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to develop a statewide mobile health unit plan. These units will focus on providing basic health, behavioral health, oral health, and connection to other wraparound services specifically for BIPOC communities.
