Bill > HB2663

This bill modifies Oregon law to allow vehicle dealers to issue temporary registration permits for motor vehicles that do not yet have proof of compliance with pollution control equipment requirements. Specifically, the bill permits dealers to provide a short-term permit to a buyer even if the vehicle has not demonstrated it meets pollution control standards. However, the dealer must provide a written notice to the buyer that the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will not issue permanent registration stickers, plates, or registration until proof of compliance is submitted before the temporary permit expires. The bill amends two sections of Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS 803.350 and 803.625) to clarify these provisions, ensuring that buyers understand they must subsequently provide evidence of the vehicle's pollution control compliance to obtain full registration. This change provides more flexibility for car dealers and buyers during the vehicle registration process while maintaining the state's environmental equipment standards.
