ORS 294.178(3) Required the DOR to pay percentage of the monies in the
County Assessment Function Funding Assistance account as of the close of
each fiscal quarter to each county participating in CAFFA grant on or
before the 25th day of the month after the close of that quarter. |
ORS 294.178(3) Adjusts the payment date to the 28th day of the month
following the close of each fiscal quarter. By modifying Section 2,
this date adjustment maintains the range of days necessary for DOR to
calculate and disburse each county's CAFFA payment after receiving
County Assessment and Taxation Fund deposit notification of amounts. |

ORS 294.187(2) The county treasurer shall pay over the moneys in the
fund, determined as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, to the state
treasurer on or before the 10th day of the month following the last day of the fiscal quarter. |
ORS 294.187(2) The county treasurer shall pay over the monies in the
fund, determined as of the last day of the fiscal quarter, to the state
treasurer on or before the 10th working day of the month following the last day of the fiscal quarter.
This
change parallels the timeline county treasurers must process thetax
turnover; avoids issues caused in calendar months when 10th falls on a
weekend or holiday.
It was difficult for many county treasurers
to meet statutory deadlines when the 10th of the month fell on weekend
or holiday. They had to transmit CAFFA payment on or before the 10th calendar day although allowed 10 working
days to calculate and post the interest to the unsegregated account. In
some fiscal quarters, counties were limited to six days in which to
remit CAFFA payments because language was not equivalent.
