ORS 468.253: Authority of director to act to benefit fund.

(1) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Director of the Department of Environmental Quality finds that it will benefit the financial condition of the Pollution Control Sinking Fund, with the approval of the State Treasurer the director may: (a) Sell bonds, notes, contracts or other obligations acquired by the Environmental Quality Commission by purchase, loan or otherwise from the proceeds of bonds issued under ORS 468.195 to 468.260, and pay costs associated with the sale from the proceeds of the sale. (b) Pay to an obligor under such bonds, notes, contracts or other obligations such sums from the proceeds of a sale authorized by paragraph (a) of this subsection as the director determines, or hold or deposit such sums in trust for the benefit of such obligor under terms established by the director. (2) Any proceeds of a sale authorized by subsection (1) of this section which remain after payments authorized by subsection (1) of this section shall be deposited in the Pollution Control Sinking Fund. (3) An obligor under any bonds, notes, contracts or other obligations which are proposed to be sold by the director pursuant to subsection (1) of this section may waive its right to redeem such obligations prior to maturity, or otherwise renegotiate the terms of such obligations, if the obligor determines that so altering the terms of its obligation, together with payments to be received by the obligor under subsection (1)(b) of this section, will benefit the obligor.
