Bill > HB2892

This bill establishes new conditions for state funding of county capital construction projects in Oregon. Specifically, the bill requires that before a state agency can provide money for a capital construction project, the county must formally attest that it will remain part of the State of Oregon for a specified period of time. For bond-funded projects, the county must commit to remaining in Oregon until the bonds mature, and for non-bond projects, the county must commit to remaining in Oregon for 40 years. The county can make this attestation through either a notarized letter signed by a majority of the county's governing board or by passing an official resolution. The bill defines "capital construction" as any construction, modification, replacement, repair, remodeling, or renovation of a structure expected to have a useful life of more than one year. These requirements are additional to any existing legal requirements for state funding and are designed to ensure county stability and commitment to the state before receiving state financial support for infrastructure projects.
