Bill > HB3506

This bill transfers $3,150,000 from the Senior Property Tax Deferral Revolving Account to the General Fund for general governmental purposes. It also appropriates $3,000,000 to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to be deposited into the Healthy Homes Repair Fund, which will support housing for seniors and individuals with disabilities through accessibility modifications. Additionally, the bill allocates $150,000 to the Department of Revenue to increase awareness about property tax deferral programs (specifically those under ORS 311.666 to 311.701 and 311.702 to 311.735). The department is required to contract with a public benefit corporation or consultant to provide information to various organizations that serve eligible individuals, such as financial counselors, senior services agencies, and community organizations. The Department of Revenue must also submit a report to legislative committees about the use of these funds by September 1, 2026. These transfers and appropriations are set to take effect on the bill's effective date in 2025.
