                     CHAPTER ................
 
 
                             AN ACT
 
 
Relating to minimum wage requirements.
  Whereas minimum wage rates are a matter of national and
statewide concern; and
  Whereas minimum wage rates should be set by federal and state
law, and not by local government ordinances; and
  Whereas local governments must be able to set wage rates for
public employers and to negotiate wage rates in contracts entered
into by the local governments; now, therefore,
 
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
 
  SECTION 1.  { + (1) As used in this section:
  (a) 'Local government' includes a county, city, district or
other public corporation, authority or entity organized and
existing under statute or city or county charter.
  (b) 'Public employer' means a political subdivision of the
State of Oregon, including counties, cities, districts, as
defined in ORS 198.010 and 198.180, and public and quasi-public
corporations.
  (2) Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, the
State of Oregon preempts all charter and statutory authority of
local governments to set any minimum wage requirements.
  (3) A local government may set minimum wage requirements:
  (a) For public employers;
  (b) In specifications for public contracts entered into by the
local government; and
  (c) As a condition of the local government providing direct tax
abatements or subsidies for private employers with 10 or more
employees. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + Section 1 of this 2001 Act applies only to
public contracts, tax abatements or subsidies entered into or
provided by a local government on or after the effective date of
this 2001 Act. + }
