2000 Oregon Ballot Measure 7

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ballot Measure 7, anOregon,United States ballot initiative that passed with over 53% approval in 2000, amended theOregon Constitution, requiring the government to reimburse land owners whenregulations reduced the value of their property.

It was overturned by theOregon Supreme Court,^[1] butMeasure 37 in 2004 was largely similar. Measure 37 differed from Measure 7 in several key ways:

Measure 37 did not amend the Constitution.
Measure 37 gave government the option to waive regulations, rather than reimburse a property owner.
Measure 37 was retroactive.

Voters in neighboringWashington had considered a similar measure, Initiative 164, in the mid-1990s, but did not pass it.^[2]

Oregonians In Action ran the campaign supporting Measure 7, after taking it over fromBill Sizemore's organization,Oregon Taxpayers United.^[3]1000 Friends of Oregon opposed Measures 7 and 37.
