Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Neighbors get notice before dismantler expands

Before approving a supplemental dismantler certificate, the city or county notifies all property owners next to the site. This applies when the business moves, expands, or opens another location. The law does not set the exact timing or method of notice.

Tribes now qualify for transit programs

Federally recognized tribes now count as qualified entities for public transit under Oregon law. Intergovernmental groups that run transit for a tribe also qualify. This lets them use programs or authority that require that status. The law does not set funding amounts here.

New rules for vehicle dismantler businesses

Motor vehicle dismantler certificates last two years. The Oregon Department of Transportation renews a certificate only after the holder pays the renewal fee, files the required application, and keeps a valid bond. To move, expand, or add a site, the department must issue a supplemental certificate once local government approval is in hand, and a supplemental fee is due. The department may waive local approval for suitability on some renewals, but the fee and bond rules still apply.
