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

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

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
