Plain-language change summary

The recent revision of Bill SB 1502 adds a new requirement for the Oregon Secretary of State to propose a legislative measure concerning campaign finance changes for the 2027 regular session. This measure will include recommendations based on recent experiences with campaign finance regulations set to be implemented. Additionally, if another related bill (House Bill 4018) becomes law, the measure will also incorporate insights from that legislation. This change is significant because it aims to ensure that future campaign finance laws are informed by real-world implementation and to adapt to evolving needs in transparency and regulation.
