OR Rev Stat § 291.190 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 07 - Public Facilities and Finance|Chapter 291 - State Financial Administration|Section 291.190 - Short title.

ORS 291.195, 291.201 and 291.203 may be cited as the Budget Accountability Act. [1995 c.746 §61] Note: 291.190 and 291.195 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 291 or any series therein by legislative action.

OR Rev Stat § 291.195 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 07 - Public Facilities and Finance|Chapter 291 - State Financial Administration|Section 291.195 - Policy for financial expenditure planning.

(1) The Legislative Assembly hereby declares that the ability to make fiscally sound and effective spending decisions has been enhanced by requiring agencies and programs to develop performance measures and to evaluate all General Fund, State Lottery Fund and other expenditures in accordance with these performance measures. Fiscal pressure on this state requires even greater accountability and necessitates a review of the fairness and efficiency of all tax deductions, tax exclusions, tax subtractions, tax exemptions, tax deferrals, preferential tax rates and tax credits. These types of tax expenditures are similar to direct government expenditures because they provide special benefits to favored individuals or businesses, and thus result in higher tax rates for all individuals. (2) The Legislative Assembly further finds that 76 percent of property in this state is exempt from property taxation and that income tax expenditures total billions of dollars per biennium. An accurate and accountable state budget should reflect the true costs of tax expenditures and should fund only those tax expenditures that are effective and efficient uses of limited tax dollars. (3) The Legislative Assembly declares that it is in the best interest of this state to have prepared a biennial report of tax expenditures that will allow the public and policy makers to identify and analyze tax expenditures and to periodically make criteria-based decisions on whether the expenditures should be continued. The tax expenditure report will allow tax expenditures to be debated in conjunction with online budgets and will result in the elimination of inefficient and inappropriate tax expenditures, resulting in greater accountability by state government and a lowering of the tax burden on all taxpayers. [1995 c.746 §62] Note: See note under 291.190.
OR Rev Stat § 291.200 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 07 - Public Facilities and Finance|Chapter 291 - State Financial Administration|Section 291.200 - Budget policy.

(1) It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly to require the Governor, in the preparation of the Governor’s budget, to state as precisely as possible what programs the Governor recommends be approved for funding under estimated revenues under ORS 291.342. If estimated revenues are inadequate, the Legislative Assembly intends that it be advised by the Governor as precisely as possible how the Legislative Assembly might proceed to raise the additional funds. It is also the intent of the Legislative Assembly, in the event that the additional funding is not possible, to be informed by the Governor precisely what programs or portions thereof the Governor recommends be reduced accordingly. Finally, if the Governor chooses to recommend additional new programs or program enhancements, the Legislative Assembly intends that the Governor specify how the additional funding might be achieved. The Legislative Assembly believes that the state government must allocate its resources for effective and efficient delivery of public services by: (a) Clearly identifying desired results; (b) Setting priorities; (c) Assigning accountability; and (d) Measuring, reporting and evaluating outcomes to determine future allocation. (2) In addition to the intentions of subsection (1) of this section, in preparing the Governor’s budget, the Governor and the Legislative Assembly shall use an outcomes-based budgeting process described in ORS 291.217 (2) and (3). (3) To achieve the intentions of subsections (1) and (2) of this section, it is the budget policy of this state to create and administer programs and services designed to attain societal outcomes and to promote the efficient and measured use of resources. (4) To effect the policy stated in subsection (3) of this section, state government shall: (a) Allocate resources to achieve desired outcomes; (b) Express program outcomes in measurable terms; (c) Measure progress toward desired outcomes; (d) Encourage savings; (e) Promote investments that reduce or avoid future costs; (f) Plan for the short term and long term using consistent assumptions for major demographic and other trends; and (g) Require accountability at all levels for meeting program outcomes.
