AI Summary
This bill modifies how lottery proceeds are allocated to the County Fair Account by removing the previous annual cap of $1.53 million and adjusting the allocation to nine-tenths of one percent of net Oregon State Lottery proceeds. The bill eliminates a complex inflation adjustment mechanism that was previously used to calculate the annual limit. Additionally, the bill maintains existing requirements that these allocations must be made after satisfying other lottery-related financial obligations, such as bonds and specific fund distributions as outlined in the Oregon Constitution. The legislation also includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately upon passage in 2025, emphasizing the urgency of the changes. While the government-provided summary also mentions a requirement for the Oregon Business Development Department to prepare a master plan for county fairground capital construction, this specific provision is not evident in the provided XML text.
