Every jurisdiction in this catalog has entries whose figures move when a bill passes, whose act takes effect on a later date, or whose program is repealed while its agency keeps advertising it. This page watches each jurisdiction's law, follows a bill through its own jurisdiction's process where its stages are recorded, and names the catalog entries each instrument touches.
2 instruments in Oregon. Tracked across 51 jurisdictions. Every other jurisdiction on the board is still watched by hand.
A bill that died is listed only where a guide, an agency, or a news story has described it as current law. That is the failure that puts a number in front of a veteran which no assessor, registrar, or school will honor.
▲Expands benefitsWould have extended the tuition waiver to community colleges and apprenticeships, with fees and textbooks.
No chapter number and did not become law. It would have reached community colleges and apprenticeship programs, added fees and textbooks, and barred any reduction for other student aid. None of that is available.
▲Expands benefitsWould have raised the disabled veteran exemption bases and added a $150,000 amount at 100 percent.
Never left the Senate Committee on Finance and Revenue and has no chapter number, so it is not law. It would have set the bases at $60,000 and $65,000 and added a $150,000 amount at 100 percent. Guides quoting $60,000 are quoting a bill that died. The real figures rise 3 percent a year.
