Chapter 176 — Governor

ORS 176.800 Construction of ORS 176.750 to 176.815

(1)

Nothing in ORS 176.750 to 176.815 is intended as a delegation of legislative responsibility for the appropriation or authorization of expenditure of public funds, as provided in the Constitution and laws of this state.

(2)

The powers vested in the Governor under ORS 176.750 to 176.815 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, emergency powers vested in the Governor under ORS chapter 401 or any other law of Oregon.

(3)

It is the intent of the Legislative Assembly that if ORS 176.750 to 176.815 and 176.990 are held unconstitutional as applied to contracts executed before February 26, 1974, ORS 176.750 to 176.815 and 176.990 nevertheless are effective with respect to contracts executed on or after February 26, 1974, and with respect to renewals or extensions of existing contracts on or after February 26, 1974.
