A BILL FOR AN ACT
Relating to registration fees for vehicles; creating new
provisions; and amending ORS 803.420.
Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. ORS 803.420 is amended to read:
803.420. This section establishes registration fees for
vehicles. If there is uncertainty as to the classification of a
vehicle for purposes of the payment of registration fees under
the vehicle code, the Department of Transportation may classify
the vehicle to assure that registration fees for the vehicle are
the same as for vehicles the department determines to be
comparable. The registration fees for the vehicle shall be those
based on the classification determined by the department. Except
as otherwise provided in this section, or unless the vehicle is
registered quarterly, the fees described in this section are for
an entire registration period for the vehicle as described under
ORS 803.415. The department shall apportion any fee under this
section to reflect the number of quarters registered for a
vehicle registered for a quarterly registration period under ORS
803.415. The fees are payable when a vehicle is registered and
upon renewal of registration. Except as provided in ORS 801.041
(3) and 801.042 (7), the fee shall be increased by any amount
established by the governing body of a county or by the governing
body of a district, as defined in ORS 801.237 under ORS 801.041
or 801.042 as an additional registration fee for the vehicle. The
fees for registration of vehicles are as follows:
(1) Vehicles not otherwise provided for in this section or ORS
820.580 or 821.320, $15 for each year of the registration period.
(2) Mopeds, $4.50 for each year of the registration period.
(3) Motorcycles, $4.50 for each year of the registration
period.
(4) Government-owned vehicles registered under ORS 805.040, $2.
(5) State-owned vehicles registered under ORS 805.045, $2 on
registration or renewal.
(6) Undercover vehicles registered under ORS 805.060, $2 on
registration or renewal.
(7) Antique vehicles registered under ORS 805.010, $30.
(8) Vehicles of special interest registered under ORS 805.020,
$45.
(9) Electric vehicles { - and hybrid vehicles that use
electricity and another source of motive power, - } as follows:
(a) The registration fee for an electric { - or hybrid - }
vehicle not otherwise described in this subsection is $30 for
each year of the registration period.
(b) The registration fee for electric { - or hybrid - }
vehicles that have two or three wheels is $30. This paragraph
does not apply to electric { - or hybrid - } mopeds. Electric
{ - or hybrid - } mopeds are subject to the same registration
fee as otherwise provided for mopeds under this section.
(c) The registration fees for the following electric { - or
hybrid - } vehicles are the same as for comparable nonelectric
vehicles described in this section plus 50 percent of such fee:
(A) Motor homes.
(B) Commercial buses.
(C) Vehicles registered as farm vehicles under ORS 805.300.
(D) Vehicles required to establish registration weight under
ORS 803.430 or 826.013.
