Summary: Amends Constitution. Current law does not require voters to approve fees or taxes on motor vehicle use, ownership, or fuel. The
Oregon Constitution allocates those taxes to highway funds; current law does not apply to “fees.” Measure requires voter approval at an election of the
“levying government” (undefined) of motor vehicle use, ownership, and fuel taxes and fees enacted on or after January 1, 2009. Applies retroactively to
taxes and fees that were enacted on or after January 1, 2009. For taxes and fees enacted by a political subdivision of the state, measure takes effect
on January 1, 2013; requires voter approval at an election of that subdivision. Effective January 1, 2013, allows exception for legislatively enacted
statewide increases that meet specified criteria. Other provisions.
