Position on Bill at 2018
Session of Oregon Legislature:

    HB 4077:    Support, but Needs Improvement

The Oregon Progressive Party supports HB 4077, which requires the statements of economic interest filed by public officials and candidates for public office to include certain information about sources of income for business in which public official or candidate, or member of household of public official or candidate, is officer or holds directorship if source of income has legislative or administrative interest and 10 percent or more of total gross annual income of business comes from that source of income.

While this is an improvement over existing law, it limits the filing requirement to such businesses, if the public official or candidate is a director or officer of the business.  Such filing should also be required if the public official or candidate is an employee of the business or a contractor of the business.
