ORS 293.861 Investment pools authorized

The Legislative Assembly recognizes that changes in federal arbitrage regulations have imposed substantial additional financial and administrative burdens on state agencies and local governments which issue tax-exempt obligations. The impact of these burdens is exacerbated by the fiscal restrictions placed on these agencies and governments by section 11b, Article XI of the Oregon Constitution. The Legislative Assembly finds that it will benefit the citizens of the state to authorize the State Treasurer to create one or more investment pools which are designed to reduce these burdens of compliance with federal arbitrage rules.
