  approval by a three-fifths majority.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1. ORS 316.695 is amended to read:
  316.695. (1) In addition to the modifications to federal
taxable income contained in this chapter, there shall be added to
or subtracted from federal taxable income:
  (a) If, in computing federal income tax for a taxable year, the
taxpayer deducted itemized deductions, as defined in section
63(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxpayer shall add the
amount of itemized deductions deducted (the itemized deductions
less an amount, if any, by which the itemized deductions are
reduced under section 68 of the Internal Revenue Code).
  (b) If, in computing federal income tax for a taxable year, the
taxpayer deducted the standard deduction, as defined in section
63(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxpayer shall add the
amount of the standard deduction deducted.
  (c)(A) From federal taxable income there shall be subtracted
  { - the larger of (i) the taxpayer's itemized deductions or
(ii) - }  a standard deduction. Except as provided in subsection

deduction ' means the sum of the basic standard deduction and the
additional standard deduction.
  (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the
basic standard deduction is:
  (i)   { - $3,280 - }  { +  $15,000 + }, in the case of joint
return filers or a surviving spouse;
  (ii)   { - $1,640 - }  { +  $7,500 + }, in the case of an
individual who is not a married individual and is not a surviving
spouse;

2015 + }, the Department of Revenue shall annually recompute the
basic standard deduction for each category of return filer listed
under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph. The basic standard
deduction shall be computed by dividing the monthly averaged U.S.
City Average Consumer Price Index for the 12 consecutive months
ending August 31 of the prior calendar year by the average U.S.
City Average Consumer Price Index for the second quarter of
 { - 2002 - }  { +  2014 + }, then multiplying that quotient by
the amount listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph for
each category of return filer.
  (ii) If any change in the maximum household income determined
under this subparagraph is not a multiple of $5, the increase
shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of $5.

Price Index' means the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for

(A) of this paragraph; - }
    { - (ii) - }   { + (i) + } A nonresident alien individual;
    { - (iii) - }   { + (ii) + } An individual making a return
for a period of less than 12 months on account of a change in the
individual's annual accounting period;
    { - (iv) - }   { + (iii) + } An estate or trust;
    { - (v) - }   { + (iv) + } A common trust fund; or
    { - (vi) - }   { + (v) + } A partnership.
    { - (d) For the purposes of paragraph (c)(A) of this
subsection, the taxpayer's itemized deductions are the sum
of: - }
    { - (A) The taxpayer's itemized deductions as defined in
section 63(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (reduced, if
applicable, as described under section 68 of the Internal Revenue

itemized deductions resulting from section 68 of the Internal
Revenue Code bears to the amount of federal itemized deductions
as defined for purposes of section 68 of the Internal Revenue
Code); and - }
    { - (B) The amount that may be taken into account under
section 213(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, not to exceed seven

taxpayers of the amount of the tax, between Oregon source income
and income from all other sources is the federal adjusted gross
income of the taxpayer from Oregon sources divided by the

individual's qualified retirement contributions, deductible on
that individual's federal income tax return pursuant to section

proportion that the individual's compensation from Oregon sources
bears to the individual's compensation from all sources.
Distributions from a medical savings account, if excluded from
income for federal income tax purposes, shall be excluded for
Oregon income tax purposes. Distributions from a medical savings
account, if included in income for federal tax purposes, shall be
included in income for Oregon tax purposes to the extent that an
exclusion has been allowed for contributions to the medical
savings account for Oregon tax purposes in a previous year.
