Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. { + (1) Beginning as soon as possible after the
effective date of this 2001 Act, the Department of Transportation
shall establish a Crater Lake National Park registration plate
program to issue special registration plates called 'Crater Lake
National Park registration plates' upon request to owners of
motor homes or travel trailers and motor vehicles registered
under the provisions of ORS 803.420 (1) to commemorate the 100th
anniversary of Crater Lake National Park. The department may
adopt rules for issuance of Crater Lake National Park
registration plates for vehicles that are not motor homes or
travel trailers and are not registered under the provisions of
ORS 803.420 (1).
(2) In addition to any other fee authorized by law, for each
Crater Lake National Park registration plate issued under
subsection (1) of this section, the department shall collect a
surcharge of $10 payable when the plate is issued. The department
shall distribute the surcharge as provided in section 2 of this
2001 Act.
(3) Notwithstanding ORS 803.530, Crater Lake National Park
registration plates may be transferred from vehicle to vehicle if
the department stops issuing the plates as long as the plates are
not so old, damaged, mutilated or otherwise rendered illegible as
to be not useful for purposes of identification. + }
SECTION 2. { + (1) After deduction of the cost of
administration of the Crater Lake National Park registration
plate program, the Department of Transportation shall transfer
moneys from the surcharge imposed by section 1 of this 2001 Act
to the National Park Foundation for use on Crater Lake National
Park projects.
(2) As used in this section, 'the cost of administration of the
Crater Lake National Park registration plate program' is the sum
of all Department of Transportation expenses for the issuance or
transfer of Crater Lake National Park registration plates under
section 1 of this 2001 Act that are above the normal costs of
issuing, renewing and transferring registration plates in the
normal course of business in the department. These expenses
include, but are not limited to, the costs of collecting the
Enrolled Senate Bill 821 (SB 821-B) Page 1

transferring Crater Lake National Park registration plates. + }
SECTION 3. { + (1) The Department of Transportation shall
design the Crater Lake National Park registration plate in
consultation with the National Park Service.
(2) Except as otherwise required by the design chosen, Crater
Lake National Park registration plates shall comply with the
requirements of ORS 803.535. + }
SECTION 4. { + If House Bill 3882 becomes law:
(1) If the Department of Transportation determines there are
sufficient moneys in the Department of Transportation Operating
Fund from taxes described in section 1 (2)(a), chapter ___,
Oregon Laws 2001 (Enrolled House Bill 3882), for the biennium
beginning July 1, 2001, the department may use up to $150,000
from the taxes described in section 1 (2)(a), chapter ___, Oregon

the Department of Transportation Operating Fund, for the purpose
of initiating the Crater Lake National Park registration plate
program established in section 1 of this 2001 Act, including but
not limited to registration plate design, computer programming
and registration plate production setup.
(2) Notwithstanding section 1 of this 2001 Act, after deduction
for the cost of administration of the Crater Lake National Park
registration plate program, the department shall transfer the
moneys from the surcharge imposed by section 1 of this 2001 Act
to an account in the General Fund until sufficient funds have
accumulated for the purpose of subsection (3) of this section.
(3) When the department determines that sufficient moneys are
available in the account established under subsection (2) of this
section, but in no event later than June 30, 2003, the department
shall reimburse the Department of Transportation Operating Fund,
without interest, in an amount equal to the amount used by the
department from the Department of Transportation Operating Fund
under subsection (1) of this section. The moneys used to
reimburse the Department of Transportation Operating Fund under
this subsection shall not be considered as a budget item on which
a limitation is otherwise fixed by law, but shall be in addition
to any specific biennial appropriation or amount authorized to be
expended from continually appropriated moneys for any biennial
period.
(4) Any moneys left in the account established under subsection
(2) of this section after the reimbursement required under
subsection (3) of this section shall be transferred to the
National Park Foundation as provided in section 2 of this 2001
Act. + }
SECTION 5. { + This 2001 Act being necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health and safety, an emergency
is declared to exist, and this 2001 Act takes effect July 1,
