Oregon Ballot Measure 7 (2000)

Ballot Measure 7, an Oregon, United States ballot initiative that passed with over 53% approval in 2000, amended the Oregon Constitution, requiring the government to reimburse land owners when regulations reduced the value of their property.
It was overturned by the Oregon Supreme Court,[1] but Measure 37 in 2004 was largely similar. Measure 37 differed from Measure 7 in several key ways:
- Measure 37 did not amend the Constitution.
- Measure 37 gave government the option to waive regulations, rather than reimburse a property owner.
- Measure 37 was retroactive.
Voters in neighboring Washington had considered a similar measure, Initiative 164, in the mid-1990s, but did not pass it.[2]
Oregonians In Action ran the campaign supporting Measure 7, after taking it over from Bill Sizemore's organization, Oregon Taxpayers United.[3] 1000 Friends of Oregon opposed Measures 7 and 37.
