Title: Exempts amounts paid in federal tobacco tax from calculation of state tax on tobacco <br />products other than cigarettes. <br /> Applies to tobacco tax reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010. <br /> Takes effect on 91st day following adjournment sine die. <br />Sponsored by: Representative SCHAUFLER (at the request of Jan Esler-Rowe) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2800.dir/hb2837.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Larry Hill Larry Hill CS-FIN 3/11/2009 Pri 1 Yes YesII. B1 Oppose <br />Comments: <br />HB 2837 would reduce revenue the City of Eugene receives from the state tobacco <br />products tax. Federal taxes are about $1 per pack of cigarettes, with equivalent federal <br />taxes on other tobacco products. Presently the cost of federal taxes is included in the <br />wholesale sales price of tobacco products, upon which the state tobacco tax is levied. <br />This bill would exempt federal taxes from the wholesale sales price for the purpose of <br />computing the state tax, thus reducing the state tax levied and reducing shared revenue <br />to state, counties and cities. <br />HB 2842 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to crime; declaring an emergency; providing for criminal sentence reduction that <br />requires approval by a two-thirds majority. <br />Title: Repeals Ballot Measure 57 (2008) and related provisions. <br /> Declares emergency, effective on passage. <br />Sponsored by: COMMITTEE ON RULES <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2800.dir/hb2842.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />E. Cushman C. Tilby EPD-ADM 3/17/2009 Pri 2 No No Oppose <br />Comments: <br />We oppose this bill, which would roll back many of the sentencing enhancements <br />included in Ballet Measure 57, passed in 2008. Property crimes are our number 1 <br />problem. The hope of getting the upper hand on these crimes are the significant <br />sentences offenders receive for aggravated cases and repeated offenses. To roll back <br />these provisions would have a large negative impact on our ability to protect the citizens <br />from property crime offenders. <br />HB 2864 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to land use planning for land included within urban growth boundary. <br />Title: <br /> Permits city, notwithstanding charter, to annex land within urban growth boundary <br />without election in city. <br /> Prohibits inclusion of land in inventory of buildable lands if, five years after inclusion of <br />land within urban growth boundary of district, land use plan changes facilitating urban <br />level development have not been made and acknowledged. <br /> Removes land from urban growth boundary and includes land within urban reserve if, 10 <br />years after inclusion of land within urban growth boundary of district, land use plan <br />changes facilitating urban level development have not been made and acknowledged. <br />Sponsored by: Representative SCHAUFLER (at the request of Oregon Home Builders Association) <br />URL:http://www.leg.state.or.us/09reg/measpdf/hb2800.dir/hb2864.intro.pdf <br />ContactRespondentDept Updated Priority Policy Poli Numb Recommendation <br />Steve Nystrom Steve Nystrom PDD-ADM 3/11/2009 Pri 3 Yes YesIV.
