The 2013 special-session package
How did a three-day special session join pension cuts, tax changes, new spending, and seed preemption into one bargain, and how did each part fare afterward?
Oregon traded pension reductions, tax changes, new school and human-services money, and statewide control of seed policy in one negotiated package. The coalition held for three days. The policies did not hold together for long.

From the session account
The title captured both its ambition and its governing method. Democrats held 34 of 60 House seats; the Senate was divided 16 Democrats to 14 Republicans; three senators were excused at the opening roll call, but the chamber recognized the regular-session credentials of all members. Kitzhaber, Senate President Peter Courtney, House Speaker Tina Kotek, Republican leaders Ted Ferrioli and Mike McLane, and budget chairs fashioned a package in which each side obtained something it valued and accepted something it opposed. The Joint Special Session Committee consisted of those leaders and senior fiscal legislators: five senators and five representatives. On October 1 it moved every substantive bill on 10-0 votes. The unanimity was real, but it described agreement among the architects after the package had been negotiated, not a public consensus on each component. Floor votes the next day revealed the differences. ¶2
Senate Bill 861 was the fiscal centerpiece. Earlier in 2013, SB 822 had already reduced cost-of-living adjustments for PERS retirees. SB 861 revised the structure again beginning July 2014: a 1.25 percent COLA on annual benefits up to $60,000 and 0.15 percent above $60,000, with temporary supplemental payments that softened the reduction for lower-benefit retirees. The Legislative Fiscal Office estimated a $1.9 billion reduction in accrued system liabilities and a roughly two-percentage-point reduction in employer contribution rates, replacing a temporary rate deferral with what lawmakers expected to be a permanent liability reduction. That mattered to school districts, cities, counties, and state agencies because pension contributions compete with current services for the same budgets. It also mattered directly to retired workers because the savings came from smaller inflation adjustments to promised benefits. ¶3
The cushioning design shows how lawmakers tried to reconcile those interests. Retirees receiving less than $20,000 would receive a mandatory supplemental payment; the PERS Board could make another limited payment for benefits up to $60,000 if reasonable and prudent. Those payments came from the contingency reserve, did not compound, and expired after 2019. They made the reduction more progressive in the short term without changing its fundamental source: pensioners would absorb less inflation protection so public employers could devote more money to classrooms and services. SB 862 added narrower PERS changes, including excluding certain employer-paid health-insurance salary increases from final-average-salary calculations, changing legislative retirement options, and allowing restitution or compensatory fines in criminal judgments to reach certain pension payments. ¶4
House Bill 3601 built the revenue and tax side of the exchange. It raised the corporate tax rate from 6.6 to 7.6 percent on taxable income between $1 million and $10 million, reduced personal exemption credits for high-income households, restructured the senior medical-expense subtraction, increased Oregon's earned income tax credit, changed IC-DISC export taxation, and raised cigarette taxes. At the same time, it created preferential personal-income-tax rates for qualifying active income from S corporations, partnerships, and LLCs with at least one nonowner employee. The bill was therefore neither simply a tax increase nor simply a tax cut. It redistributed burdens and preferences among large corporations, affluent households, seniors, low-income workers, smokers, exporters, and owners of pass-through businesses. ¶5
The seed bill exposes the mechanics of the bargain most plainly. It did not finance the school appropriation or alter PERS. It supplied votes and addressed a priority important to agricultural interests and Republican negotiators. On the Senate floor, it passed only 17-12; in the House it passed 32-22. Senate President Courtney defended a comprehensive statewide policy rather than a county patchwork. Senator Alan Bates said counties should control what products were grown within their borders. Senator Diane Rosenbaum argued that preemption removed the people's ability to use local direct democracy before Oregon had created a complete statewide solution. The exception for the already-qualified Jackson County measure made the statewide principle contingent on political timing: one local electorate kept a choice that later petitioners elsewhere would not possess. ¶9
On October 2 the chambers suspended ordinary readings and voted through the package. SB 861 passed the Senate 22-7 and House 31-24. SB 862 passed 27-2 and 55-0. HB 3601 passed the House 36-19 and Senate 18-10, clearing the three-fifths threshold required for revenue measures. HB 5101 passed 54-1 and 27-1. The recorded explanations show legislators repeatedly describing their vote as a judgment about the whole package rather than the bill before them. Some pension critics voted yes to obtain school funding. Some tax critics accepted HB 3601 for PERS changes or services. Some supporters acknowledged provisions they hoped to repair later. The bargain disciplined the coalition by making defection from one piece threaten all the others. ¶10
Kitzhaber signed the five bills on October 8. The emergency measures took effect immediately; HB 3601 took effect on the ninety-first day after adjournment, with provisions keyed to different tax years. The formal session had succeeded: it converted months of leadership negotiation into law within three days. But enactment was only the beginning of the constitutional story. SB 861 deliberately provided expedited Oregon Supreme Court review because lawmakers knew the state Contract Clause question was unavoidable. ¶11
In Moro v. State, decided April 30, 2015, the court held that the COLA was part of the PERS retirement benefit workers had earned through past service. Article I, section 21 prohibits laws impairing the obligation of contracts. The legislature could change the COLA attached to service performed after the 2013 laws took effect, but it could not reduce the inflation protection already earned by retirees and active workers for earlier service. The court therefore declared SB 861's principal COLA sections unconstitutional insofar as they affected benefits earned before October 8, 2013, and voided another section. The expected permanent savings were consequently far smaller than the bargain assumed. The decision did not erase the session; it divided the pension promise into protected past accruals and prospectively alterable future accruals, a rule that reshaped later Oregon pension reform. ¶12

ISSUES DISCUSSED:

PERS “Normal” cost
Impact on new and existing Legislators who have opted out of PERS, but participate in deferred compensation

EFFECT OF COMMITTEE AMENDMENT: The -4 amendment limits the amount of a money award in a criminal
action judgment to restitution or a compensatory fine.
BACKGROUND: Under current law, a new legislator may decline to become a legislator member of OPSRP and elect
to become a legislator member of the state deferred compensation plan, or decline to be either. The current employer
contribution, or “pick-up,” for a legislator member of the deferred compensation plan is six percent.

WHAT THE MEASURE DOES: Finds and declares regulation of agricultural, flower, vegetable, and nursery seed
and seed products is reserved to state to protect economic benefits and industries. Prohibits local government from
enacting or enforcing local measure or law that inhibits or prevents production or use of specified seed or seed
products including displaying, distributing, growing, harvesting, labeling, marketing, mixing, notifying of use,
planting, possessing, processing, registering, storing, transporting, or using. Excludes land owned by local
government from prohibition on regulation. Exempts any local measure that qualified for placement on ballot on or
before January 31, 2013, and is approved at election on May 20, 2014. Declares emergency, effective on passage.
ISSUES DISCUSSED:
Local versus state regulation of seed
Whether weed control or tree ordinances are affected by measure
Organic farming in Oregon
County expertise, resources, and ability to enforce local measures
EFFECT OF COMMITTEE AMENDMENT: No amendment.
BACKGROUND: Agriculture is a key traded sector, ranking first in volume and second in value of exported
products in Oregon. More than 220 different agricultural commodities are commercially produced in Oregon. In 2011,
grass seed was ranked as the sixth top agricultural commodity in Oregon for value of agricultural and fishery
production, while vegetable and flower seed were ranked 22nd.
As defined in ORS 633.511, agricultural seed includes fiber, forage and grass crop seed. Flower seed means seeds of
herbaceous plants grown for their blooms, ornamental foliage or other ornamental parts. Vegetable seed includes the
seed of those crops usually grown in Oregon gardens, on truck farms, or for canning and freezing.
This measure reserves the regulation of agricultural, flower, vegetable, and nursery seed and products to the state and
prohibits local government from regulating the production or use of these seed or seed products, except when the local
government owns the land on which the specified seed or seed products are produced or used. If approved by Jackson
County voters, a measure to ban genetically modified crops iStaff Measure Summary (Legislative Policy and Research Office), page 1. Original.

Coalition, as the session account reads it
The leadership committee joined Democratic priorities—revenue, earned-income support, schools, tuition, mental health, and senior services—to Republican priorities—PERS reductions, pass-through business tax preferences, and statewide seed preemption. Every committee member supported every measure, but floor coalitions diverged sharply. The spending bill was nearly unanimous; the pension COLA bill narrowly passed the House; seed preemption divided both chambers; the tax bill cleared only with a carefully assembled supermajority. Recorded vote explanations show that many legislators accepted provisions they opposed because they valued another part of the package.
Alternatives not taken
Consider each policy through the next regular session
Disposition: Leaders chose a three-day special session and an integrated package rather than separate ordinary committee paths.
Why it matters: The package made agreement possible but reduced the opportunity to amend one policy without disturbing the coalition supporting the others.
house-journal · SS1-HJ-1 to SS1-HJ-13
Fund services without reducing accrued PERS COLAs
Disposition: The legislature relied on projected COLA savings; Moro later required preservation of benefits already earned.
Why it matters: The rejected political alternative became, in part, a constitutional requirement, shifting costs back to public employers.
moro · 357 Or 167, 235-36
Allow local seed regulation until Oregon enacted a comprehensive statewide standard
Disposition: SB 863 immediately preempted most local regulation while preserving only an already-qualified Jackson County measure.
Why it matters: Uniformity was achieved by removing local authority, not by first replacing it with a complete state regulatory response to every local concern.

What the session account concludes, and how strongly
Moro substantially reduced the pension savings on which the political bargain relied.
The fiscal estimate depended on reduced COLAs across accrued liabilities; the court barred reductions attributable to service before the statutes' effective dates.
Strength: high · Limits: A complete realized-savings figure requires subsequent PERS valuations, employer-rate decisions, and implementation accounting.
SB 863 created uniform statewide seed policy.
It clearly preempted most local regulation, but the law itself did not supply a comprehensive substantive state rule for every contamination, labeling, or land-use concern.
Strength: moderate · Limits: Uniform allocation of authority is not the same as uniform or comprehensive substantive regulation.
