Note: Section 3, chapter 671, Oregon Laws 2019, provides:
Sec. 3. (1) For the biennium beginning July 1, 2021, at the request of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, after the department consults with the Water Resources Department, the State Treasurer is authorized to issue lottery bonds pursuant to ORS 286A.560 to 286A.585 in an amount that produces $40 million in net proceeds for the purposes described in subsection (2) of this section, plus an additional amount estimated by the State Treasurer to be necessary to pay bond-related costs.
(2) Net proceeds of lottery bonds issued under this section must be transferred to the Water Resources Department for deposit in the Water Supply Development Account established in ORS 541.656, in an amount sufficient to provide:
(a) $30 million in net proceeds to issue grants or loans to evaluate, plan and develop in-stream and out-of-stream statewide water development projects.
(b) $10 million in net proceeds to the Deschutes Basin Board of Control to modernize irrigation delivery systems infrastructure in the Deschutes Basin by piping open canals.
(3) The Legislative Assembly finds that the use of lottery bond proceeds will create jobs, further economic development, finance public education or restore and protect parks, beaches, watersheds and native fish and wildlife, and is authorized based on the following findings:
(a) Having adequate drinking water systems, irrigation, drainage and healthy ecosystems enhances community development and supports Oregon’s economic growth; and
(b) Assisting local governments to mitigate losses resulting from reduced water supply for irrigation and retirement of water rights will enhance community efforts to facilitate and promote economic growth. [2019 c.671 §3; 2021 c.682 §5]
