Measure 49 Senate Bill 505 asking to look at Measure 37. Measure 49 came from hearings like these. Senate Bill 505 was the result of the public outcry for something to be done about Measure 37. Measure 49 is giving Oregon a chance to re-vote on Measure 37 issues, and to clarify some of the loopholes allowing for large subdivisions on rural landscapes.
Many who voted for Measure 37 had no idea it would increase urban sprawl, that it was supported by large development companies wanting to change Oregon's landscape outside urban growth boundaries.

Measure 49 will also protect the financial industry of farms and forest lands to preserve others who wish to purchase the lands for that purpose and create employment and economy to this state.
