Bill > SB663

This bill proposes to prohibit all state agencies from charging any fees, as defined in Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 291.050. The bill first defines "fee" by referencing the existing statutory definition, and then broadly states that regardless of any other existing laws or regulations, no state agency is permitted to impose any fees. While the bill is brief, it represents a significant change that would impact how state agencies currently generate revenue through various service charges, application fees, licensing fees, and other monetary requirements. The legislation appears aimed at reducing financial burdens on citizens by eliminating all fee-based transactions with state government entities, though the precise practical implications and potential exceptions (if any) are not detailed in the provided text.
