Permanent Administrative Order

OAR 165-012-0005

Designating the Campaign Finance Manual and Forms

The Elections Division hereby provides notice of a permanent administrative order for OAR 165-012-0005. Prior to the effective date of the administrative rule, the Elections Division held a public hearing and accepted public comments. 

FILING CAPTION: Incorporates legislative and administrative changes into the Campaign Finance Manual.

RULE SUMMARY: The amendments to this rule and the associated manual and forms update the transaction filing deadlines for the 2024 and 2025 calendar years. The amendments account for changes set out in Senate Bill 166 (2023) by defining physical currency, implementing annual physical currency contribution limits and defining the term “de minimis” as applied to committee formation exemption thresholds. The manual also describes the conditions under which a debate is exempt from reporting as a contribution for campaign finance purposes.
