    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.

    Press Release Oregon Legislative Black

    PRESS RELEASE OREGON LEGISLATIVE BLACK, INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR (BIPOC) CAUCUS For Immediate Release Aug. 24, 2020 Oregon Cares Fund for Black relief and resiliency Now Accepting Applications SALEM – The Oregon Cares Fund for Black relief and resiliency is now accepting applications. Black individuals and families, Black businesses, and Black community-based organizations statewide can now apply to receive funds to assist them in weathering the health and economic storm that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused. Applications for the fund, which is being administered by two non-profits, The Contingent and The Black United Fund, are available here. Rep. Akasha Lawrence Spence (D-Portland), one of the leading legislative proponents, applauded the tireless effort to stand up the fund. “I am so grateful for the hundreds of hours that were put into making this fund a reality for Black Oregonians,” Rep. Lawrence Spence said. “From the dozens of Black leaders who showed up week after week to ensure our process was inclusive, the grassroots community support by Oregonians across the state, to the unrelenting advocacy from the BIPOC Caucus and The Contingent working in good faith around-the-clock for five weeks in preparation for launch, the resilience of our community is clear. “Now it is time for our community to receive much needed resources and relief from the devastating impacts of the pandemic and the decades of underinvestment that have made us increasingly vulnerable to economic downturns. Black Oregonians are all too accustomed to surviving with less than they need and far less than they deserve. This fund is the remedial action incumbent on the state to do what is long overdue.” Rep.
  • Association Endorsements 3/2/2017 SUPPORT SB 214-1

    Association Endorsements 3/2/2017 SUPPORT SB 214-1

    Association Endorsements 3/2/2017 OPPOSE HB 2265. Allows parties to agree in writing to starting date for 150-day period after which parties involved in negotiations over terms of collective bargaining agreement may notify Employment Relations Board of need for mediator. The bill would make it easier for an employer to claim that negotiations started earlier than currently provided and expedite the process toward unilateral implementation. 3/2/2017 OPPOSE SB 648. Requires that labor negotiations be conducted in open meetings subject to notification requirements. This bill interferes with the rights of the collective bargaining team to choose between open or closed meetings. The bill would also make IBB untenable. 3/2/2017 SUPPORT SB 214-1. Provides that post-doctoral scholars at public universities and Oregon Health and Science University are not eligible to participate in Public Employees Retirement System or optional retirement plans offered by universities. PSU-AAUP and AAUP-Oregon worked with the government relations of PSU, UO, and other Oregon Universities, to fix serious concerns that we had about the original bill. 3/2/2017 SUPPORT HB 2187. Requires issue subject to collective bargaining during term of collective bargaining agreement that is not resolved through negotiation or mediation to be resolved through binding arbitration. It would become prohibited for public employees to strike when issue subject to collective bargaining during the term of a collective bargaining agreement is also subject to binding arbitration. This bill would provide an incentive for our administrative team to negotiate in good faith over interim bargaining matters, and to reach better resolutions.
