Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Agriculture fine payments fund enforcement

The Oregon Department of Agriculture must set schedules listing fine amounts for covered violations. Penalties follow state procedures for disputed agency decisions. All money collected from these fines goes into the Department of Agriculture Service Fund. The money remains available to administer and enforce the laws, rules, or orders behind the fines.

Agriculture violations bring fines and license risks

Violations of ORS 633.006–633.089 and related rules or orders carry civil fines of up to $10,000 per violation. Each day of a continuing violation may count separately, and fines are in addition to other penalties. When a fine remains unpaid past the final order's due date, the department can restrict licenses and registrations. It can suspend, revoke, or deny issuance or renewal of registrations under ORS 633.015 and licenses under ORS 633.029. It can also withhold new or renewed licenses or registrations in other department programs until the fine is paid in full.

New fines for animal health violations

The law sets civil fines for violations of listed animal health laws, rules, and department orders. Depending on the violation, fines are capped at $1,000 or $5,000 per violation. A separate $2,500 cap covers specified animal-remedy manufacturer requirements and related license, registration, or order terms. Each violation counts separately, and each day of a continuing violation may count again. These fines are in addition to other penalties.

New fines for livestock quarantine violations

Violations of covered livestock requirements, quarantines, and related rules or orders carry civil fines of up to $5,000 per violation. Each violation counts separately, and each day of a continuing violation may count again. These fines are in addition to other penalties.
