Sponsor: Jami Cate

Chapter 65, (2026 Laws): Effective date January 1, 2027.

Summary

The law changes Oregon’s traffic citation rules so that a driver who has already transferred ownership of the vehicle involved in a citation can skip the required first court appearance. The driver must inform the court of the transfer and provide proof that the new owner is exempt from liability under existing statutes. This aims to prevent unnecessary court appearances when the driver no longer controls the vehicle.
