Introduced Enrolled · 6 edits · Jun 20, 2025
MODERATE
This bill was finalized for signature after passing through the legislative process. The substantive content remains the same, but formatting was updated to reflect its enrolled status. The bill updates Oregon tax laws by replacing specific statute citations with broader descriptive terms and clarifies statute of limitations for tax appeals.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on tax administration, but the language was updated to be more general and less tied to specific Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) chapter numbers.
TECHNICAL

Header and title formatting changed from 'Introduced' status to 'Enrolled' status, indicating the bill has completed the legislative process and is ready for the Governor's signature.

Removed the editor's summary section that explained the bill's purpose in plain language, as this is no longer needed for an enrolled bill.

Updated page numbering and formatting to match the enrolled bill format, including adding chapter placeholders and page references.

DEFINITION

Replaced specific ORS chapter citations with descriptive terms like 'taxes administered by the Department of Revenue' to make the law more flexible and easier to update in the future.

REQUIREMENT

Clarified appeal timeframes for tax disputes, maintaining 90-day filing deadlines for most appeals while keeping special two-year deadlines for certain tax types.

ENFORCEMENT

Added provisions allowing the Department of Revenue to collect taxes even during appeals if collection would be jeopardized or if the taxpayer took a frivolous position.
