AI Summary
This concurrent resolution seeks to ensure that the Legislative Assembly appropriates at least as much funding to the Department of Veterans' Affairs from the General Fund as was allocated during the 2015-2017 biennium, with two key adjustments: first, excluding any debt service payments from the baseline amount, and second, adjusting the baseline amount for inflation by using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers in the West Region. The resolution is rooted in Ballot Measure 96, which was passed by Oregon voters in November 2016 and dedicated a portion of state lottery proceeds to veterans' services, with the explicit intent that this new funding would supplement, not replace, existing veterans' services funding. The resolution provides a specific methodology for calculating the inflation adjustment by comparing the CPI from December 2014 to December 2024, thereby ensuring that veterans' services funding maintains its real-world purchasing power over time.
