(2) Notwithstanding ORS 153.042, a peace officer may issue a citation under subsection (1) of this section when the conduct alleged to constitute a violation has not taken place in the presence of the peace officer, if the peace officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the conduct constitutes a violation on the basis of information received from an employee of an agency, tribal government, local government or local service district authorized to operate an aquatic invasive species check station who observed the violation.
(3) As used in this section, “tribal government” has the meaning given that term in ORS 830.590. [Subsections (1) and (2) of 2011 Edition formerly 570.990(2) and (3); 2019 c.154 §14; 2025 c.37 §5]
