CHAPTER ................
AN ACT
Relating to Oregon State Fair and Exposition Center; and
declaring an emergency.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. { + The Legislative Assembly finds and declares
that:
(1) The successful solicitation of gifts, grants and donations
for the benefit of the Oregon State Fair and Exposition Center
allows the operation, improvement and maintenance of facilities
or programs enjoyed by the public. The receipt of gifts, grants
and donations for the benefit of the center reduces the amount of
public moneys that must be spent for the operation, improvement
and maintenance of facilities or programs.
(2) The successful solicitation of gifts, grants and donations
by a nonprofit, tax exempt organization for the benefit of the
center minimizes the cost to the state of obtaining those gifts,
grants and donations. Cooperation between the center and such an
organization, including the provision of tickets and other
promotional items, facilities, supplies, staff and services by
the center for use by such an organization in connection with
fund raising efforts, serves a public purpose by increasing the
ability of the organization to successfully solicit gifts, grants
and donations for the benefit of the center. + }
SECTION 2. { + (1) The Director of the Oregon State Fair and
Exposition Center may cooperate with any nonprofit, tax exempt
organization designated by the director as an appropriate
organization to solicit gifts, grants and donations for the
benefit of the Oregon State Fair and Exposition Center.
(2) The director may advise and receive advice from an
organization described in subsection (1) of this section. The
director may, if allowed by the charter and bylaws of the
organization, serve ex officio as a regular or nonvoting board
member of the organization. The director may not chair the board
of directors, vote for or appoint other board members, control
the financial affairs of the organization or oversee the
day-to-day operation of the organization.
(3) The director may provide tickets, promotional items and
facilities to the organization without charge for use in
increasing the ability of the organization to successfully
solicit gifts, grants and donations for the benefit of the
center.
(4) The director may provide supplies, staff and services to
the organization at cost for use in increasing the ability of the

organization to successfully solicit gifts, grants and donations
for the benefit of the center.
(5) The director shall submit an annual accounting report to an
appropriate committee of the Legislative Assembly designated by
the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of
the Senate. The report must contain a detailed description of all
tickets, promotional items, facilities, supplies, staff and
services provided under subsections (3) and (4) of this section,
the specific disposition or application thereof made by the
organization and any resulting benefit to the center.
(6) The director may enter into an agreement for the donation
to the center of goods, services and public improvements by a
nonprofit, tax exempt organization. + }
SECTION 3. { + This 2003 Act being necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this 2003 Act takes effect on its
passage. + }
