Note: 461.010 as set forth includes amendments by section 42a, chapter 355, Oregon Laws 2019, and does not reflect the Governor’s intended veto of section 15, chapter 10, Oregon Laws 2020 (second special session). This intended veto cites the single-item veto exception found in Article V, section 15a, of the Oregon Constitution, allowed for appropriation bills. As of this printing, Oregon appellate courts have not interpreted the term “appropriation bills” for purposes of Article V, section 15a.
