Legislative staff described HB 2411 as creating a financing option that allows OBDD to provide upfront funds for a range of industrial uses; current program assistance is limited to reimbursement for regionally significant industrial sites, and an existing industrial financing option is exclusive to semiconductor manufacturing. The LFO‑recommended dash A3 amendment removed a proposed $40,000,000 lottery fund allocation to OBDD, making the fiscal impact indeterminate in the work‑session summary. The summary noted Senate Bill 5531 and House Bill 5006 together carry other authorizations and expenditure limitations tied to the fund; the Legislative Fiscal Office recommended adoption of the dash A3 amendment.

Senators and representatives asked about the appropriation and whether $10,000,000 in lottery bond proceeds (authorized in a different bill) would be deposited into the fund; LFO staff answered that $10,000,000 in lottery bond proceeds are available via Senate Bill 5531 and that corresponding expenditure limitation would be included in later bills. The co‑chair moved adoption of the dash A3 amendment and then moved HB 2411 as amended to the full committee with a due‑pass recommendation; the motion carried with no recorded floor objections in the transcript excerpt.

The measure as described does not specify project recipients, and the dash A3 amendment removed the $40 million lottery allocation that would have been explicit funding for the program in the work‑session summary. LFO recommended adoption of the amendment and the bill was advanced to the full committee for further consideration of funding and expenditure limitation language in companion bills.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Joint Committee On Ways and Means Subcommittee On Capital Construction 06/24/2025 8:00 AM","oneSentenceSummary","The Joint Ways and Means Subcommittee on Capital Construction moved House Bill 2411 forward on June 24; the bill would create a loan fund in the Oregon Business Development Department to provide upfront financing to prepare and develop industrial land.","taxTitle","Capital Construction, Ways and Means, Joint, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",18449,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189389,"Ways and Means subcommittee advances ODOT budget with position reductions and contingent restorations tied to transportation funding",2101,1264325,3365559,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af&start=1264&end=3365","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af/thumbnail_1264325.jpg","/articles/6189389/Oregon/Ways-and-Means-subcommittee-advances-ODOT-budget-with-position-reductions-and-contingent-restorations-tied-to-transportation-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189389-0ea49502c591ae63a1e6fc82b8f7d82c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770678041&Signature=adhFwZPmdPLb6GDdywxjHRqzZ8C0JynMn594KnvasEJkdm7-mz7u6kfLoFIU3EngSB~jfpt4bBWxKDVeojwxTwDXm2KOUT3-hOrCZerl02uv08s4ooHt1NzU65IOBiyWVRgPrneDd32Yi7ta2su5JbQT0WyxusRnAh8REVVgVuBqQMrFuJe8PYDkIY5lGq9WuvSbEul0DFrBIyEbe2BFI3okI25TGHSqU2vFIv25la0N44wMNIi7BNVn69nwq270a~04kDRrlaUSca0JMaNylQeUKF5Cvm1OZwW~pm~-Fsu-lOdX4fEiEQDGTrHyTlQFqoYjcPDA7uX2jg5H32~AFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Legislative Fiscal Office presented a recommended 2025‑27 budget for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Joint Ways and Means Subcommittee on Capital Construction moved the LFO recommendation on Senate Bill 5541 to the full committee with a due‑pass recommendation.

LFO recommended a 2025‑27 budget of $6,057,012,676 total funds and 4,803 positions, which the staff characterized as a 12.4% decrease from the 2023‑25 legislatively adopted budget and a 4.1% increase from the current service level. To address an estimated State Highway Fund revenue shortfall, the recommendation includes a $46,000,000 other‑fund reduction and elimination of 121 operations and maintenance positions; many of those reductions were proposed as vacancy savings or temporary abolitions, and several package restorations were shown as contingent on passage of a transportation funding bill that would generate sufficient revenue to restore a majority of the operations and maintenance positions.

The LFO budget summary provided line‑by‑line packages across ODOT divisions (maintenance, project delivery, driver and vehicle services, debt service, public transportation, etc.). Notable items in the work‑session summary include: reductions of hundreds of positions and tens or hundreds of millions in other funds in package 70 to reflect state highway revenue shortfalls; package 320/330/350 restorations to maintain a modified current service level if funding is restored; an interstate bridge replacement program total funds figure provided; and targeted appropriations such as $171,678 General Fund from the Housing and Homelessness Initiative to create a permanent full‑time operations policy analyst position as a single point of contact for major housing projects and permit review prioritization.

Committee members expressed concern about the magnitude and distribution of cuts and the process of coupling the budget to an uncertain transportation funding package. Representative Dreisen and others asked whether the cuts were distributed uniformly and argued reductions that eliminate operations and maintenance positions could impact core services such as snow removal and road upkeep; LFO staff responded that reductions were not across the board and were informed by ODOT priorities and feedback. Several members urged collaboration with the department and acknowledged external pressures (inflation, COVID impacts) that have affected project costs. The subcommittee adopted the LFO recommendation and dash 4 amendment and moved Senate Bill 5541 as amended to the full committee with a due‑pass recommendation. Several members recorded or signaled opposition to adoption pending clarity about the transportation funding package and the long‑term effect of position reductions.

Next steps: SB 5541 as amended was moved to the full Ways and Means Committee; budget restorations and many position decisions remain contingent on future transport funding legislation and potential floor negotiations.","The Ways and Means subcommittee on Capital Construction on June 24 advanced a $6.06 billion, 4,803‑position recommended budget for the Oregon Department of Transportation that includes reductions to address a State Highway Fund shortfall and contingent restorations tied to future transportation funding.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189399,"Subcommittee backs creation of housing infrastructure financing program at OBDD",72,548700,620705,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af&start=548&end=620","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af/thumbnail_548700.jpg","/articles/6189399/Oregon/Subcommittee-backs-creation-of-housing-infrastructure-financing-program-at-OBDD","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189399-4f7638ae855073b9c9043da9f4dd3e6f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770678041&Signature=ZT7GnfI3PAdEl96AmCicDKF5Q8xfRJvvja1nwyEF3irCFI3lc1PTZK0uK-ZrwgIuuq3pZx~mMl-O8ca8LZHMOa-uSsAR5EmURrrtboYxmrqyT6njR8~oDhs7xz5gyy4aGfkOPMLpOevSIRMWs6IcyvD5KQ3m0P1cUl6DOKWyHfN5YZcYmMXC63iBB-lWS8-Ns3XWh1LFQwmaIcTYDmAK9yd9sj3VHKE2cKk5j3j2SUXTfjYmoYSE~k2m-QFmYBuJBvxycEK~9bLkZU0Orrul4uro~TdDK-frT6dFP8hTu2LWUH1NL7BkV-ROzPNA-Tt-~DdvPsUycMrKaBTvXM2sgA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","House Bill 3031 was advanced out of the Ways and Means Subcommittee on Capital Construction on June 24. The bill would create a housing infrastructure financing program inside the Oregon Business Development Department and establish the Housing Infrastructure Project Fund to finance site development and capacity‑increasing improvements to transportation, water, wastewater and stormwater systems that support specified housing developments subject to an affordability covenant.

Legislative staff told the subcommittee that projects financed through the fund are primarily for the support of specified housing developments and must meet location and density requirements; the housing would also be subject to affordability covenants. The work‑session summary noted Senate Bill 5531 includes authorization for $10,000,000 in lottery bond proceeds to deposit into the fund and House Bill 5006 carries $1,200,000 in lottery funds for program administration plus other funds expenditure limitation and a budget note directing OBDD to report to Ways and Means in February 2026 on program implementation and project recommendations.

The co‑chair moved HB 3031 to the full committee with a due‑pass recommendation; the motion carried with no objections recorded in the excerpt. The bill contains eligibility rules and an affordability covenant requirement in the version presented to the subcommittee. The presentation did not list specific projects; LFO materials and companion bills were cited as the source of initial bond proceeds and administrative funding.","The subcommittee moved House Bill 3031 to the full committee; the bill would create a housing infrastructure financing program at the Oregon Business Development Department to fund site and infrastructure work for specified affordable housing projects.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189393,"Subcommittee approves LIFT‑funded pilot to acquire or construct factory‑produced homes for up to five recipients",83,671575,754595,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af&start=671&end=754","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af/thumbnail_671575.jpg","/articles/6189393/Oregon/Subcommittee-approves-LIFTfunded-pilot-to-acquire-or-construct-factoryproduced-homes-for-up-to-five-recipients","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189393-52adaf50c1f97dcdec70698581fc30ba/orig.mp4?Expires=1770678041&Signature=MqOBGUz4eKmEOL7EAj-mOpchLyFwnEqcrAzvoQJeMtG16B02DxnHeQl~OeQAL4ZGGykPsbfKt3FpY1tepU1hbx9HFPLoItv7XJcGfyFnELn9J-Y5-nOuRl5XsnTJty2cBh057q1KTD3cT6AtY6GvR-rvssnZRJgrk1w5gbwIyMWFAcLzn5qKHeF9QMCVc2jDZMmmdt6lay4ncPGLt2nRDxKiG-WaMJCTG~ARBaIMw2TzWOvqTmVVDeIwU3y~Bvn6MTtdUuDFmED-wARw5R3d8tXbiHlAu46aylAm3lXRuPzBCyYPgvQHz0X3YCrNX1XdYywQGrEwrjApa5YbbDUjLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The subcommittee advanced House Bill 3145, which would direct the Housing and Community Services Department (OHCS) to use funds in the Local Innovation and Fast Track (LIFT) housing program to acquire or construct factory‑produced housing for up to five recipients or locations in the 2025‑27 biennium.

Legislative staff explained the bill includes a $650,000 General Fund appropriation to OHCS for administration and a professional services contract with the Network for Oregon Affordable Housing to facilitate a program design advisory committee and provide technical assistance to funding recipients. The bill funds one limited‑duration position to manage the advisory committee and program components and requires a report to the legislature on awards, other financing available to recipients, and program recommendations.

The dash A3 amendment specifies a $25,000,000 LIFT allocation to up to five recipients to acquire or construct factory‑produced housing. Representative Smith asked about the source of LIFT funds and was told the funds are Article XI‑Q bonds. She also asked whether concentrating factory production in one location had been discussed; staff said that was a policy committee discussion and did not provide additional detail in the work session. Representative Smith asked whether Oregon companies manufacture factory‑produced homes; committee members confirmed such companies exist in the state.

Representative Dreisen and others raised concerns about the broader use of the LIFT program and the General Fund debt service associated with Article XI‑Q bonds; Dreisen noted that continued reliance on LIFT has long‑term General Fund debt‑service implications. Co‑chairs and LFO staff answered questions about debt service and program requirements. The subcommittee adopted the dash A3 amendment and moved the bill to the full committee with a due‑pass recommendation.","House Bill 3145 would direct the Housing and Community Services Department to use LIFT funds to acquire or construct factory‑produced housing for up to five recipients in the 2025‑27 biennium, with $650,000 General Fund appropriation for administration and a $25 million allocation under amendment dash A3; the bill includes reporting requirements.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6189408,"Committee advances bill to designate state and local lands as ‘Home Start’ for affordable housing",269,57840,327254,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af&start=57&end=327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5057417-fa33e71a799a075a7f95508b11da90af/thumbnail_57840.jpg","/articles/6189408/Oregon/Committee-advances-bill-to-designate-state-and-local-lands-as-Home-Start-for-affordable-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189408-a801a856019190076fe019b190f25e8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770678041&Signature=J5IYk5F-Bsza4lDG07NaY8c0Lv7CjvtWbTpwAzGTTvMM~ObbpuC3WZsv-mfln4fiHA4ThcUdsHUXurhw83Mc0bLlrz5fO7haVmXBvM1UQ2QskhBMIgJq32pS~wkmgsth5zxboFUqjqXj~gK-hoA8glBSWyDUnJhM1W~K13xvpdnrQcpgB-axVXtis-gcgD~QRQ1ieBRTrZOk4wLLFuNS2NWIy08XUgBYEVTaNYODOGQRotwwm47Qjj~xXO1F4xvggrAOpwq-cEpOpfCM55Wrjcq8p-1uzFy~O4mS7TtQO0SAVmR1GqPVtFvsi~lQkNrtzwTpDr1w1GBC2vsdjIjJAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Joint Committee on Ways and Means Subcommittee on Capital Construction on June 24 advanced House Bill 2316, a bill directing the Department of Administrative Services to establish a program identifying state‑owned and locally nominated lands within urban growth boundaries as Home Start lands and supporting affordable housing development there.

The measure would allow DAS to work with state agencies and local governments to designate lands suitable for single‑family cottage clusters and middle housing for low‑ or moderate‑income households, exempt such lands from specified land use laws and property taxes for up to five years, and facilitate sale, transfer or lease to housing developers. It would also let DAS provide grants and loans to purchasers or lessees and to cities for public services such as infrastructure, law enforcement, and firefighting.

The bill summary presented to the subcommittee said DAS would need two permanent full‑time positions (an operations and policy analyst 3 and an administrative specialist) and estimated start‑up costs of $859,665 General Fund to support rulemaking, real estate contract work, appraisals and program administration. The summary also described creation of a Home Start lands fund into which proceeds from sales would be deposited and continuously appropriated to DAS to support loans, grants and public services for residents on Home Start lands.

Mr. Cochair moved adoption of the dash B9 amendment and then moved HB 2316 as amended to the full committee with a due‑pass recommendation; the motions were carried. Representative Dreisen told the subcommittee she would not support the bill at this time, saying she needed more time to evaluate the policy because she was not in the original committee consideration. The committee record shows the bill was sent to the full committee with the recommendation to pass as amended.

The proposal does not specify which land parcels would be designated; the text presented to the subcommittee describes a process for collaboration between DAS, other state agencies and local governments to nominate and identify parcels. The measure would also create the Home Start lands fund and make monies in that fund continuously appropriated to DAS. The transcript does not identify the precise land‑use provisions or the specific statutes from which Home Start lands would be exempt beyond the summary language read at the hearing.

Next steps: HB 2316 as amended was moved to the full Ways and Means Committee for further consideration and possible amendment.

","A legislative subcommittee approved moving House Bill 2316, which would authorize the Department of Administrative Services to identify state‑owned and locally nominated lands within urban growth boundaries as “Home Start” lands, provide temporary tax and land‑use exemptions, and enable sales, leases, and grants to support affordable housing.","actionData","errors"]
