​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Pursuant to ORS 250.125​, a five-member Financial Estimate Committee (FEC), composed of the Secretary of State, State Treasurer, Director of the Department of Revenue, Director of the Department of Administrative Services, and a local government representative must prepare an estimate of the financial impact of each measure to be voted on in the statewide elections. The estimate of financial impact will be printed in the Voters’ Pamphlet and on the ballot.​

Financial Estimate Committee Process

The FEC typically holds several meetings to draft financial impact statements. The FEC consults with the Legislative Revenue Office (LRO) to determine if the measure has potentially significant indirect economic or fiscal effects which can be estimated. 

A public hearing is also held to accept public comments in late July. Suggested changes or other relevant information may be submitted orally or in writing. 

Following public comments, the FEC will hold reconsideration meetings as needed in early August.
