Ballot description
The explanatory language provided to voters by the state of Oregon in their official ballot pamphlet said:
Ballot Measure 92 would add a new section to the Oregon Constitution prohibiting public and private employee payroll deductions if any portion of the money will be used for a political purpose, unless the employee freely gives written permission each year on a form used only for that purpose. The measure would also restrict the use of payroll-deducted funds by any organization that receives them without first obtaining the required employee authorization. Organizations that use payroll deductions include unions, charities, insurance companies and financial institutions.
