There is a rumor that 18 Oregon Tax Reports (2013) may be the last official print edition of the official Oregon Tax Reports.
Oregon Tax Court decisions, from 1999 to the present, can be found online at the OJD website, however, the site includes the following disclaimer: “None of the documents found in this website are the official publications. Official publications of the Oregon Tax Court can be found in the ‘Oregon Tax Reports.‘”
Note: The OJD Appellate Courts Style Manual doesn’t state specifically if one can cite to the Tax Court’s online edition of its opinions.
A “committee pony” is a document created by the Legislative Fiscal Office mainly for the bill carriers as the bill is favorably passed out of a Ways & Means committee.
What’s a Bill Carrier? Read on:

Buying that eBook from Amazon is Easy. Downloading that eBook from your public library is Easy. What is Not Easy is being on the other side and managing eBook programs.

1) For documents cited in Oregon court filings I recommend starting with the free, official, and online OJD Appellate Court Style Manual.
You can link to that PDF, but I prefer going through the live OJD Publications website to make sure I have the most current version (the print/PDF Style Manual says 2002, but it has been updated since then).
2) You sometimes, though rarely, need the Bluebook (Harvard et al). The Oregon Appellate Court Style Manual will tell you when you need to go to Bluebook.
The 2013 Oregon Legislature adopted the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts. It will be effective September 1, 2013.
