On Monday, there are two OSCC priority bills receiving hearings that we are asking members to engage on.
OPPOSE: HB 4148 - TLT Diversion: This bill is another attempt to shift transient lodging tax (TLT) funds away from tourism promotion. It would give 60% of local TLT monies to local government and 40% for tourism promotion. This is a drastic shift from current law, which gives 70% to tourism promotion and 30% to local government.
HB 4148 will have a public hearing on Monday at 3pm in the House Committee on Revenue.
SUPPORT: SB 1593 - Recreational Liability Waivers: This bill is a key issues for fitness, outdoor and recreation businesses. Oregon is the only state that gives businesses no ability to enforce liability waivers for ordinary negligence. The ask is simply to put Oregon on equal footing.
SB 1593 will have a public hearing on Monday at 8am in the Senate Committee on Commerce and General Government.
