                        A BILL FOR AN ACT

Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1. ORS 815.310 is amended to read:
  815.310. When proof of compliance with pollution control
equipment requirements is required under ORS 803.350, 803.465 and
815.295 the following apply:
  (1) The proof may be provided by any means that the Department
of Transportation and the Environmental Quality Commission
determine by joint rulemaking or by interagency agreement to be
satisfactory.
  (2) Except as otherwise provided in this section, when a
certificate of compliance is used as proof, the certificate must
comply with all the following:
  (a) It must be signed by a person licensed and qualified under
ORS 468A.380.
  (b) It must be dated not more than 90 days prior to the motor
vehicle registration or renewal of registration.
  (c) It must be on a form supplied by the Department of
Environmental Quality and must include such information as the
department may require.
  (3) In order for registration to continue to be valid for a
motor vehicle that is registered as a government-owned vehicle
under ORS 805.040, a police undercover vehicle under ORS 805.060
or a state-owned vehicle with regular registration plates under
ORS 805.045, the vehicle must be certified as frequently as a
privately owned vehicle of the same registration type is required
to be certified.   { - However, if the government vehicle
described in this subsection is a member of a fleet of 50 or more
vehicles, it must be certified annually. - }  For purposes of
this subsection, the registration type of a privately owned
vehicle is determined by the registration period for the vehicle
under ORS 803.415. For local government vehicles, the proof of
certification may be provided through self-testing facilities
provided by local governmental agencies. Local governmental
agencies providing self-testing facilities   { - shall - }

the required proof. However, a reasonable fee covering department
expenses in administering such self-testing programs may be
charged.
