Statute Text
(1)
Any person alleging that an estimate or statement described in ORS
250.125
was prepared, filed or certified in violation of the procedures specified in ORS
250.125
or
250.127
may petition the Supreme Court seeking that the required procedures be followed and stating the reasons the estimate or statement filed with the court does not satisfy the required procedures. A petition is not allowed concerning the contents of the estimate or statement or whether an estimate or statement should be prepared.
(2)
If the petition is filed not later than the 85th day before the election at which the measure is to be voted upon, the court shall review the procedures under which the estimate or statement was prepared, filed and certified, hear arguments and determine whether the procedures required under ORS

If the court determines that the procedures described in ORS
250.125
and
250.127
were not satisfied, the court shall order the preparation of a second estimate or statement, to be prepared, filed and certified as provided in ORS
250.125
and
250.127
except that:
(a)
The financial estimate committee created under ORS
250.125
shall prepare and file with the Secretary of State an estimate or statement not later than two days following the decision of the court;
(b)
A hearing shall be held within two days after the estimate or statement is filed; and
