Relating to the changing of commodity commission fiscal year

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

  SECTION 1.  { + Section 2 of this 2013 Act is added to and made
a part of ORS 576.416 to 576.445. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + (1) A commodity commission may adopt a rule
allowing the commission to operate using a fiscal year that
begins January 1 and ends December 31 each year. A commission
shall consult with the Director of Agriculture and the Department
of Justice prior to adopting a rule described in this section. A
rule described in this section may not take effect unless:
  (a) The commission obtains any necessary approvals from taxing
authorities to use a fiscal year that begins January 1 and ends
December 31 when reporting information;
  (b) The commission submits a recommendation regarding any plans
and projects for the transition period of July 1 to December 31
to the director for review and approval as described in ORS
576.066; and
  (c) Notwithstanding the annual basis requirement in ORS 576.416
(1), the commission prepares, submits for public comment, adopts
and receives approval for a budget for the transition period as
provided under ORS 576.416 (2) to (7).
  (2) A recommendation submitted under ORS 576.066 regarding
plans and projects for the transition period must be separately
stated and presented for separate review and approval from any
recommendation submitted under ORS 576.066 regarding plans and
projects for the subsequent fiscal year.
  (3) A budget prepared for a transition period must be submitted
for public comment, adopted and approved separately from the
budget prepared for the subsequent fiscal year. ORS 576.416 and
this subsection do not prohibit a commission from submitting a
transition period budget and fiscal year budget for separate
public comment or adoption at the same public meeting.
  (4) This section does not authorize the use of a fiscal year
that begins January 1 and ends December 31 by any entity that:
  (a) Receives funding from the State Treasury; or
  (b) Is subject to budget review or modification by the
Legislative Assembly. + }
