Heading: amends constitution: preserves certain tax breaks if upper class income, other taxpayers benefit

Text: RESULT OF YES VOTE: Yes vote preserves certain tax breaks if upper class, other taxpayer classes benefit. RESULT OF NO VOTE: No vote leaves Constitution without provision preserving tax breaks if upper class, other taxpayers benefit. SUMMARY: Amends Constitution. The Oregon Constitution currently says nothing about preserving tax breaks if upper class, other classes of taxpayers would benefit. The measure would preserve voter-approved tax breaks, for lower and middle class taxpayers, if upper class taxpayers also would benefit. Additionally, a measure that gives a tax break to lower and/or middle class taxpayers shall not be superseded or invalidated by a measure that limits certain tax breaks for any class of taxpayers. Ballot title certified as modified. This decision shall become effective in accordance with ORAP 11.30(10).
