person who operates a motor vehicle upon premises open to the public or the
highways of this state shall be deemed to have given consent, subject to the
Motorist Implied Consent Law, to a chemical test of the personÂ’s urine for the
purpose of determining the presence of a controlled substance or an inhalant in
the personÂ’s body if the person is arrested for driving while under the influence
of intoxicants in violation of ORS 813.010 or of a municipal ordinance and
either:
     (a) The person takes the breath test described in ORS 813.100 and the test discloses a blood alcohol content of less than 0.08 percent; or
     (b) The person is involved in an accident resulting in injury or property damage. A urine test may be requested under this paragraph regardless of whether a breath test has been requested and regardless of the results of a breath test, if one is taken.
     (2) A police officer may not request a urine test unless the officer is certified by the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training as having completed at least eight hours of training in recognition of drug impaired driving and the officer has a reasonable suspicion that the person arrested has been driving while under the influence of a controlled substance, an inhalant or any combination of an inhalant, a controlled substance and intoxicating liquor.

     (3) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, no suspension of driving privileges shall be imposed for refusal to provide a urine sample if the person provides documentation from a physician licensed by this state showing that the person has a medical condition that makes it impossible for the person to provide a sample. [1995 c.676 §2; 1997 c.25 §3]
(Field Sobriety Tests)

Implied consent to field sobriety tests. Any person who operates a vehicle
upon premises open to the public or the highways of the state shall be deemed
to have given consent to submit to field sobriety tests upon the request of a
police officer for the purpose of determining if the person is under the
influence of intoxicants if the police officer reasonably suspects that the
person has committed the offense of driving while under the influence of
intoxicants in violation of ORS 813.010 or a municipal ordinance. Before the
tests are administered, the person requested to take the tests shall be
informed of the consequences of refusing to take or failing to submit to the
tests under ORS 813.136. [1989 c.576 §15]
     813.136
Consequence of refusal to submit to or failure of field sobriety tests. If
a person refuses or fails to submit to field sobriety tests as required by ORS
813.135, evidence of the personÂ’s refusal or failure to submit is admissible in
any criminal or civil action or proceeding arising out of allegations that the
person was driving while under the influence of intoxicants. [1989 c.576 §14]
CHEMICAL TESTS; METHODS AND REQUIREMENTS
     813.140
Chemical test with consent; unconscious person. Nothing in ORS 813.100 is
intended to preclude the administration of a chemical test described in this section.

amount of alcohol in any personÂ’s blood or a test of the personÂ’s blood or
urine, or both, to determine the presence of a controlled substance or an
inhalant in the person as provided in the following:
     (1) If, when requested by a police officer, the person expressly consents to such a test.
     (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1) of this section, from a person without the person’s consent if:
     (a) The police officer has probable cause to believe that the person was driving while under the influence of intoxicants and that evidence of the offense will be found in the person’s blood or urine; and
     (b) The person is unconscious or otherwise in a condition rendering the person incapable of expressly consenting to the test or tests requested. [1983 c.338 §593; 1985 c.16 §299; 1999 c.619 §11]
     813.150
Chemical test at request of arrested person. In addition to a chemical test
of the breath, blood or urine administered under ORS 813.100 or 813.140, upon
the request of a police officer, a person shall be permitted upon request, at
the personÂ’s own expense, reasonable opportunity to have any licensed physician
and surgeon, licensed professional nurse or qualified technician, chemist or
other qualified person of the personÂ’s own choosing administer a chemical test
or tests of the personÂ’s breath or blood for the purpose of determining the
alcoholic content of the personÂ’s blood or a chemical test or tests of the
personÂ’s blood or urine, or both, for the purpose of determining the presence
of a controlled substance or an inhalant in the person. The failure or
inability to obtain such a test or tests by a person shall not preclude the
admission of evidence relating to a test or tests taken upon the request of a
police officer. [1983 c.338 §594; 1985 c.16 §300; 1999 c.619 §12]

     (A) Approve methods of performing chemical analyses of a person’s breath.
     (B) Prepare manuals and conduct courses throughout the state for the training of police officers in chemical analyses of a person’s breath, which courses shall include, but are not limited to, approved methods of chemical analyses, use of approved equipment and interpretation of test results together with a written examination on these subjects.
     (C) Test and certify the accuracy of equipment to be used by police officers for chemical analyses of a person’s breath before regular use of the equipment and periodically thereafter at intervals of not more than 90 days.

     (D) Ascertain the qualifications and competence of individuals to conduct chemical analyses in accordance with one or more methods approved by the department.
     (E) Issue permits to individuals according to their qualifications. Permits may be issued to police officers only upon satisfactory completion of the prescribed training course and written examination.

     (3) An individual who performs a chemical analysis of breath or blood under ORS 813.100 or 813.140 shall prepare and sign a written report of the findings of the test that must include the identification of the police officer upon whose request the test was administered.
     (4) Any individual having custody of the report mentioned in subsection (3) of this section shall, upon request of the person tested, furnish that person or that person’s attorney, a copy of the report.
     (5) The expense of conducting a chemical test as provided by ORS 813.100 or 813.140 must be paid by the governmental unit on whose equipment the test is conducted or by the governmental unit upon whose request the test was administered if no governmental unit’s equipment is used to conduct the test.

ORS 813.010 or a similar municipal ordinance in proceedings under ORS 813.410.
     (2) The provisions of the implied consent law shall not be construed by any court to limit the introduction of otherwise competent, relevant evidence of the amount of alcohol in the blood of a defendant in a prosecution for driving while under the influence of intoxicants if:
     (a) The evidence results from a test of blood taken from the defendant while the defendant was hospitalized or otherwise receiving medical care, whether or not the defendant consented to the drawing of blood or to the test; or
     (b) The evidence is obtained pursuant to a search warrant. [1983 c.338 §596; 1985 c.16 §302; 1999 c.437 §1]

other party at least seven days prior to the first date set for trial. If the

the attorney shows good cause for the failure to make the material available.
     (2) The cost of a copy of a tape or transcript furnished under subsection (1) of this section shall be borne by the party who receives the copy.

Felony driving while under the influence of intoxicants; prior convictions.
(1) In a prosecution for felony driving while under the influence of
intoxicants under ORS 813.010, the state shall plead the prior convictions and
shall prove the prior convictions unless the defendant stipulates to that fact
prior to trial. If the defendant so stipulates and the trial is by jury:
     (a) The court shall accept the stipulation regardless of whether or not the state agrees to it;
     (b) The defendant’s stipulation to the prior convictions constitutes a judicial admission to that element of the accusatory instrument. The stipulation shall be made a part of the record of the case, but shall not be offered or received in the presence of the jury;
     (c) For the purpose of establishing the prior convictions solely as an element of the crime under ORS 813.010, neither the court nor the state shall reveal to the jury the prior convictions, but the prior convictions are established in the record by the defendant’s stipulation; and
     (d) The court shall not submit the accusatory instrument or evidence of the prior convictions to the jury.
     (2) In a proceeding under ORS 813.010, the state may offer, and the court may receive and submit to the jury, evidence of the prior convictions for impeachment of the defendant or another purpose, other than establishing the prior convictions as an element of the offense, when the evidence of the prior convictions is otherwise admissible for that purpose. When evidence of the prior convictions has been admitted by the court, the state may comment upon, and the court may give instructions about, the evidence of the prior convictions only to the extent that the comments or instructions relate to the purpose for which the evidence was admitted.
     (3) When the defendant stipulates to the prior convictions required as an element of felony driving while under the influence of intoxicants under ORS 813.010, if the jury finds the defendant guilty upon instruction regarding the balance of the elements of the crime, the court shall enter a judgment of guilty of felony driving while under the influence of intoxicants. [1999 c.1049 §5]

who challenges the validity of prior convictions alleged by the state as an
element of felony driving while under the influence of intoxicants must give
notice of the intent to challenge the validity of the prior convictions at
least seven days prior to the first date set for trial on the felony charge.

     (B) 0.04 percent or more by weight if the person was driving a commercial motor vehicle; or
     (C) Any amount if the person was under 21 years of age.

     (e) The person had been informed under ORS 813.100 of rights and consequences as described under ORS 813.130.
     (f) The person was given written notice required under ORS 813.100.

     (6) A suspension imposed under this section shall remain in effect pending any appeal or remand of a final order issued under this section and there shall be no stay of the suspension pending appeal or remand.
     (7) Unless a person fails, without just cause, to appear in person or through an attorney at a hearing requested under this section, a person shall have the right to appeal any final order by the department after a hearing under this section by filing a petition. The following apply to this subsection:
     (a) The person shall file the petition in the circuit court for the county where the person resides or, if the person does not reside in Oregon, in the circuit court of the county in which the arrest took place within 30 days after issuance of the final order of the department.

[1983 c.338 §358; 1985 c.16 §167; 1985 c.672 §13; 1987 c.158 §170; 1989 c.636 §44; 1991 c.860 §11; 1993 c.305 §6; 1993 c.600 §1; 1995 c.568 §6; 1999 c.831 §2; 1999 c.849 §§193,194; 2003 c.75 §67; 2005 c.649 §27]
     813.412
Role of peace officer in implied consent hearing. Notwithstanding ORS 9.160
and 9.320, in any hearing under ORS 813.410 in which a city attorney or
district attorney does not appear, the peace officer who issued the citation
for the offense may present evidence, examine and cross-examine witnesses and
make arguments relating to:
     (1) The application of statutes and rules to the facts in the case;
     (2) The literal meaning of the statutes or rules at issue in the case;
     (3) The admissibility of evidence; and
     (4) Proper procedures to be used in the hearing. [1999 c.831 §4]

     813.420
Duration of suspension for refusal or failure of test. When the Department
of Transportation imposes a suspension under ORS 813.410, the suspension shall
be for a period of time determined according to the following:
     (1) If the suspension is for refusal of a test under ORS 813.100 and the person is not subject to an increase in the suspension time for reasons described in ORS 813.430, the suspension shall be for a period of one year.
     (2) If the suspension is for refusal of a test under ORS 813.100 and the person is subject to an increase in the suspension time for reasons described in ORS 813.430, the suspension shall be for a period of three years.
     (3) If the suspension is because a breath or blood test under ORS 813.100 disclosed that the person had a level of alcohol in the person’s blood that constituted being under the influence of intoxicating liquor under ORS 813.300 and the person is not subject to an increase in the suspension time for reasons described in ORS 813.430, the suspension shall be for a period of 90 days.
     (4) If the suspension is because a breath or blood test under ORS 813.100 disclosed that the person had a level of alcohol in the person’s blood that constituted being under the influence of intoxicating liquor under ORS 813.300 and the person is subject to an increase in the suspension time for reasons described in ORS 813.430, the suspension shall be for a period of one year. [1985 c.16 §171; 1993 c.305 §7; 1995 c.568 §7]
     813.430
Grounds for increase in duration of suspension. This section establishes
circumstances under which ORS 813.420 requires an increase in the time for
suspension of driving privileges and under which ORS 813.520 requires an
increase in the time before the Department of Transportation may issue a
hardship permit. A person is subject to an increase in suspension time under
this section if any of the following apply:
     (1) The person is presently participating in a driving while under the influence of intoxicants diversion program in this state or in any similar alcohol or drug rehabilitation program in this or any other jurisdiction.
     (2) Within the five years preceding the date of arrest any of the following occurred:
     (a) A suspension of the person’s driving privileges under ORS 813.410 or 482.540 (1981 Replacement Part) became effective.
     (b) The person was convicted of driving under the influence of intoxicants in violation of ORS 813.010 or its statutory counterpart in another jurisdiction or a municipal ordinance.
     (c) The person commenced participating in a driving while under the influence of intoxicants diversion program in this state or in any similar alcohol or drug rehabilitation program in this or any other jurisdiction. [1985 c.16 §173; 1985 c.672 §15; 1987 c.801 §12]
     813.440
Grounds for hearing on validity of suspension; rules. (1) Notwithstanding
ORS 813.410, the Department of Transportation may provide a hearing to
determine the validity of a suspension under ORS 813.410 only if the time
requirements under ORS 813.410 could not be met because of any of the
following:
     (a) The person’s physical incapacity, verified by a physician to the satisfaction of the department to be of a nature that would prevent the person from making the appropriate request or attending the hearing.
     (b) A death in the immediate family of the person, verified to the satisfaction of the department.
     (c) An error of the department.
     (d) The inability of a subpoenaed police officer to appear due to the officer’s illness, vacation or official duty conflicts. The department shall set forth by rule the conditions that constitute “official duty conflicts.” A hearing may not be rescheduled more than once for reasons described in this paragraph.
     (e) A request for a change of administrative law judge under ORS 183.645.
     (f) Other just cause as defined by the department by administrative rule.
     (2) A hearing held under this section is subject to the same provisions as a hearing held under ORS 813.410, except that the department is not required to hold the hearing and make the determination within the time required by ORS 813.410.
     (3) The granting of a hearing under this section shall not delay the imposition of a suspension under ORS 813.410 within the time required under ORS 813.410. However, if a person establishes that the person was deprived by either department error or a subpoenaed police officer’s illness, vacation or official duty conflicts of an opportunity to appear at a hearing, the department shall rescind the suspension and shall promptly schedule a subsequent hearing to determine the validity of the suspension under ORS 813.410. In other cases under this section, when the department is unable to hold the hearing within the time required by ORS 813.410, the department shall rescind any suspension imposed under ORS 813.410 only if the department determines, at a hearing held under this section, that the suspension was not valid as described under ORS 813.410.
     (4) The following apply to this section:
     (a) The department shall issue a final order within 10 days after the hearing described in this section.
     (b) If the department has rescinded a suspension under subsection (3) of this section and if the department, at the hearing described in this section, determines that the suspension is valid as described under ORS 813.410, the department shall reinstate the suspension effective five days after the final order is issued.
     (c) Notwithstanding ORS 809.430, no additional notice or order of suspension need be given. [1985 c.16 §169; 1985 c.672 §14; 1987 c.272 §5; 1993 c.600 §2; 1999 c.831 §1; 2001 c.294 §§9,10; 2003 c.75 §68]
     813.450
Appeal from suspension for refusal or failure of breath test. (1) The
petition to the circuit court appealing an order of the Department of
Transportation after a hearing under ORS 813.410 shall state the nature of the
petitionerÂ’s interest and the ground or grounds upon which the petitioner
contends the order should be reversed or remanded.
     (2) The court shall conduct the review without a jury. Review shall be limited to the record of the department’s hearing.
     (3) Any party to the proceedings before the circuit court may appeal from the judgment of the court to the Court of Appeals.
     (4) Upon review in the circuit court and Court of Appeals, the court may affirm, reverse or remand the order as follows:
     (a) If the court finds that the department has erroneously interpreted a provision of law and that a correct interpretation compels a particular action, it shall:
     (A) Set aside or modify the order; or
     (B) Remand the case to the department for further action under a correct interpretation of the provision of law.
     (b) The court shall remand the order to the department if it finds the department’s exercise of discretion to be any of the following:
     (A) Outside the range of discretion delegated to the agency by law.
     (B) Inconsistent with a department rule, an officially stated department position, or a prior department practice, if the inconsistency is not explained by the department.
     (C) Otherwise in violation of a constitutional or statutory provision.
     (c) The court shall set aside or remand the order if it finds that the order is not supported by substantial evidence in the record.
     (5) Upon review, the court shall affirm the department’s order unless the court finds a ground for setting aside, modifying or remanding to the department under a specified provision of this section.
     (6) In any review under this section, the court shall also review de novo determinations made by an agency that are subject to ORS 183.650 (4). [1985 c.672 §23; 1999 c.849 §§196,197; 2003 c.75 §69]
     813.460
Department procedures upon verification of suspension of driving privileges of
wrong person. If the Department of Transportation verifies to its
satisfaction that it has suspended the driving privileges of the wrong person
under ORS 813.410 because a person arrested for driving under the influence of
intoxicants gave false identification at the time of the arrest, all the
following apply:
     (1) The department shall immediately rescind the suspension order under the false name and shall issue a suspension order for the period set forth in ORS 813.420 to the person arrested.
     (2) The department shall issue the order in the manner set forth in ORS 809.430.
     (3) No further notice of suspension need be given.
     (4) The time limitations in ORS 813.410 (1), (2), (3) and (4)(e) do not apply to a suspension order issued under this section. [1985 c.672 §25; 1989 c.636 §47]
     813.470
Department notation on record of person acquitted after suspension. The
Department of Transportation shall make a notation on the driving record of a
person indicating that the person was acquitted of a charge of driving under
the influence of intoxicants if:
     (1) The person’s driving privileges were suspended because a breath or blood test under ORS 813.100 disclosed that the person had a level of alcohol in the person’s blood that constituted being under the influence of intoxicating liquor under ORS 813.300;
     (2) An accusatory instrument was filed charging the person with driving under the influence of intoxicants in violation of ORS 813.010 arising out of the same incident that led to the suspension of the person’s driving privileges;
     (3) The person was acquitted of the charge; and
     (4) The person presents the department with a certified copy of the judgment of acquittal from the court clearly showing the location of the court, the date of the arrest and the findings of the court. [1987 c.303 §2; 1993 c.305 §8; 1995 c.568 §8]
HARDSHIP PERMITS
     813.500
Restrictions on issuance. (1) If a personÂ’s license is suspended for
driving while under the influence of intoxicants under ORS 813.400 and the
suspension period is determined by ORS 809.428 (2)(b) or (c), the Department of
Transportation may only issue a hardship permit to the person under ORS 807.240
if the person, in addition to any requirement under ORS 807.240 and any
applicable requirements under ORS 807.250 and 813.520:
     (a) Is examined by the Director of Human Services or its designee to determine whether the person has a problem condition involving alcohol, inhalants or controlled substances as described in ORS 813.040; and
     (b) Complies with the requirements of this section.
     (2) If the Director of Human Services determines that the person has a problem condition involving alcohol, inhalants or controlled substances, as described in ORS 813.040, the department may issue the permit to the person only if both the following apply:
     (a) The person enrolled in a program for rehabilitation for alcoholism or drug dependence approved by the Director of Human Services.
     (b) The Director of Human Services recommends, on the basis of the person’s progress in the rehabilitation program, such reinstatement in writing to the department. If the Director of Human Services makes a recommendation under this paragraph, the Director of Human Services shall state specifically in the recommendation the times, places, routes and days of the week minimally necessary for the person to seek or retain employment, to attend any alcohol or drug treatment or rehabilitation program or to obtain necessary medical treatment for the person or a member of the person’s immediate family.
     (3) If the Director of Human Services determines that the person does not have a problem condition involving alcohol, inhalants or controlled substances as described in ORS 813.040, the department may issue the permit to the person only if, in addition to any requirements under ORS 807.240, the person enters an alcohol or drug information program approved by the Director of Human Services and the department determines that issuance of a permit is appropriate. If the department issues a permit to a person described in this subsection, the department shall require, under ORS 807.240, that the person complete the program as a condition of retaining the permit. [1983 c.338 §328; 1985 c.16 §145; 1987 c.801 §13; 1989 c.401 §2; 1991 c.557 §9; 1999 c.619 §13; 2003 c.23 §4]
     813.510
Limitations on privileges granted by permit; conditions of permit. This
section establishes limitations that the Department of Transportation is
required or permitted to place on hardship permits issued under ORS 807.240 to
persons whose suspension is based upon a conviction for driving under the
influence of intoxicants or upon ORS 813.100. Limitations placed on a hardship
permit under this section are in addition to any limitations placed on the
permit under ORS 807.240. A personÂ’s permit is subject to suspension or
revocation as provided under ORS 807.240 if the department determines that the
holder of the permit has violated any limitation placed upon the permit under
this section. Violation of a limitation under this section is punishable as
provided by ORS 811.175 or 811.182. The limitations are as described in the
following:
     (1) A hardship permit issued to the person shall limit the person’s driving privileges:
     (a) To the times, places, routes and days the department determines to be minimally necessary for the person to seek or retain employment, to attend any alcohol or drug treatment or rehabilitation program or to obtain required medical treatment for the person or a member of the person’s immediate family; and
     (b) To times, places, routes and days that are specifically stated.
     (2) The person’s driving privileges under the permit are subject to suspension or revocation if the person does not maintain a good driving record, as defined by the administrative rules of the department, during the term of the permit.
     (3) If the person is in a rehabilitation program under ORS 813.500, the person must complete the rehabilitation program.
     (4) The department may require the person to complete a driver improvement program under ORS 809.480 as a condition of the permit.
     (5) If the person is involved in a diversion agreement under ORS 813.220 and 813.230, the department may require the person to successfully complete the diversion program as a condition of retaining the permit.
     (6) The department shall condition the permit so that the permit will be revoked if the person is convicted of any of the following:
     (a) Reckless driving under ORS 811.140.
     (b) Driving under the influence of intoxicants under ORS 813.010.
     (c) Failure to perform the duties of a driver under ORS 811.700 or 811.705.
     (d) Fleeing or attempting to elude a police officer under ORS 811.540.
     (e) Driving while suspended or revoked under ORS 811.175 or 811.182. [1983 c.338 §329; 1985 c.16 §146; 1987 c.730 §21; 1987 c.801 §14; 1991 c.208 §5; 2003 c.23 §5]
     813.520
Limitations on authority to issue hardship permit or reinstate driving
privileges. In addition to any provisions of ORS 807.240 and 813.510 or
807.250, this section establishes limitations on the authority of the
Department of Transportation to issue driving privileges under ORS 807.240. The
department may not reinstate any driving privileges or issue any hardship
permit under ORS 807.240 as provided under any of the following:
     (1) For a period of 90 days after the beginning of the suspension if the suspension is for refusal of a test under ORS 813.100 and the person is not subject to an increase in the time before a permit may be issued for reasons described in ORS 813.430. This period of 90 days shall be reduced by the time the department refused to issue a hardship permit under subsection (5) or (6) of this section if the person’s driving privileges were suspended based on the same occurrence.
     (2) For a period of 30 days after the beginning of the suspension if the suspension is because a breath or blood test under ORS 813.100 disclosed that the person had a level of alcohol in the person’s blood that constituted being under the influence of intoxicating liquor under ORS 813.300 and the person is not subject to an increase in the time before a hardship permit may be issued for reasons described in ORS 813.430. This period of 30 days shall be reduced by the time the department refused to issue a hardship permit under subsection (5) or (6) of this section if the person’s driving privileges were suspended based on the same occurrence.
     (3) For a period of one year after the beginning of the suspension if the suspension is because a breath or blood test under ORS 813.100 disclosed that the person had a level of alcohol in the person’s blood that constituted being under the influence of intoxicating liquor under ORS 813.300 and the person is subject to an increase in the time before a hardship permit may be issued for reasons described under ORS 813.430. This period of one year shall be reduced by the time the department refused to issue a hardship permit under subsection (5) or (6) of this section if the person’s driving privileges were suspended based on the same occurrence.
     (4) For a period of one year after the beginning of the suspension if the suspension is for refusal of a test under ORS 813.100 and the person is subject to an increase in the time before a hardship permit may be issued for reasons described in ORS 813.430. This period of one year shall be reduced by the time the department refused to issue a hardship permit under subsection (5) or (6) of this section if the person’s driving privileges were suspended based on the same occurrence.
     (5) For a period of 90 days after the beginning of the suspension under ORS 813.400 if it is the person’s second conviction for driving while under the influence of intoxicants if the suspension period is determined by ORS 809.428 (2)(b). This period of 90 days shall be reduced by the time the department refused to issue a hardship permit under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this section if the person’s driving privileges were suspended based on the same occurrence.
     (6) For a period of one year after the beginning of the suspension under ORS 813.400 for driving while under the influence of intoxicants if the suspension period is determined by ORS 809.428 (2)(c). This period of one year shall be reduced by the time the department refused to issue a hardship permit under subsection (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this section if the person’s driving privileges were suspended based on the same occurrence.
     (7) To any person who has a mental or physical condition or impairment that affects the person’s ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
     (8) If the suspension is based upon a conviction for a violation of ORS 813.010 or is imposed under ORS 813.410 based upon ORS 813.100 to a person who has available public or private transportation sufficient to fulfill the person’s transportation needs while the person is suspended.
     (9) For a period of 30 days following imposition of suspension, if the person, within the previous year, has been convicted of a traffic crime and the suspension is based upon a conviction for violation of ORS 813.010 or is imposed under ORS 813.410 based upon ORS 813.100. [1985 c.16 §148; 1985 c.672 §16; 1987 c.673 §1a; 1987 c.801 §15; 1989 c.224 §141; 1989 c.401 §3; 1993 c.305 §9; 1995 c.568 §9; 1999 c.1051 §91; 2005 c.140 §5]
IGNITION INTERLOCK DEVICES
     813.600
Ignition interlock program; rules. (1) The Department of Transportation, in
consultation with the Transportation Safety Committee, shall establish a
program for the use of ignition interlock devices by persons convicted of
driving under the influence of intoxicants and granted hardship permits under
ORS 807.240.
     (2) The department shall adopt rules that specify requirements for ignition interlock devices that may be used and shall publish a list of devices that meet the requirements. The list may include devices that:
     (a) Do not impede the safe operation of the vehicle;
     (b) Have the fewest opportunities to be bypassed;
     (c) Correlate well with established measures of alcohol impairment;
     (d) Work accurately and reliably in an unsupervised environment;
     (e) Require a deep lung breath sample or other accurate measure of blood alcohol content equivalence;
     (f) Resist tampering and give evidence if tampering is attempted;
     (g) Are difficult to circumvent, and require premeditation to do so;
     (h) Minimize inconvenience to a sober user;
     (i) Operate reliably over the range of automobile environments or automobile manufacturing standards;
     (j) Are manufactured by a party who is adequately insured for product liability; and
     (k) Have a label affixed in a prominent location warning that any person tampering with, circumventing or otherwise misusing the device is subject to civil penalty. [1987 c.746 §1; 1991 c.453 §14; 1993 c.382 §2]
     813.602
Circumstances under which ignition interlock device required; costs; failure to
install; exemptions; rules. (1) When a person is convicted of driving while
under the influence of intoxicants in violation of ORS 813.010 or of a
municipal ordinance, the Department of Transportation, in addition to any other
requirement, shall require that an approved ignition interlock device be
installed and used in any vehicle operated by the person:
     (a) Before the person is eligible for a hardship permit. The requirement is a condition of the hardship permit for the duration of the hardship permit.
     (b) For the first six months after the ending date of the suspension or revocation caused by the conviction. Violation of the condition imposed under this paragraph is a Class A traffic violation.
     (2) If the court determines that approved ignition interlock devices are reasonably available, the court may require as a condition of a driving while under the influence of intoxicants diversion agreement that an approved ignition interlock device be installed in any vehicle operated by the person. Courts may not exercise authority under this subsection during any period the courts have notice from the Office of Economic Analysis of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services that there are not sufficient moneys in the Intoxicated Driver Program Fund to pay the costs under subsection (4) of this section. The Office of Economic Analysis of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services may not issue any notice under this subsection if federal funds are available to pay the cost of the interlock devices for indigents and costs of analysis of the use of interlock devices.
     (3) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, if an ignition interlock system is ordered or required under subsection (1) or (2) of this section, the person so ordered or required shall pay to the provider the reasonable costs of leasing, installing and maintaining the device. A payment schedule may be established for the person by the department.
     (4) The department may waive, in whole or in part, or defer the defendant’s responsibility to pay all or part of the costs under subsection (3) of this section if the defendant meets the criteria for indigence established for waiving or deferring such costs under subsection (5) of this section. If the defendant’s responsibility for costs is waived, then notwithstanding ORS 813.270, the costs described in subsection (3) of this section must be paid from the Intoxicated Driver Program Fund.
     (5) The department, by rule, shall establish criteria and procedures it will use for qualification to waive or defer costs described under subsection (3) of this section for indigence. The criteria must be consistent with the standards for indigence adopted by the federal government for purposes of the food stamp program.
     (6) At the end of the suspension or revocation resulting from the conviction, the department shall suspend the driving privileges or right to apply for driving privileges of a person who has not submitted proof to the department that an ignition interlock device has been installed or who tampers with an ignition interlock device after it has been installed. If the suspension is for failing to submit proof of installation, the suspension continues until the department receives proof that the ignition interlock device has been installed or until six months after the ending date of the suspension resulting from the conviction, whichever comes first. If the suspension is for tampering with an ignition interlock device, the suspension continues until six months after the ending date of the suspension resulting from the conviction. A person whose driving privileges or right to apply for privileges is suspended under this subsection is entitled to administrative review, as described in ORS 809.440, of the action.
     (7) The department shall adopt rules permitting medical exemptions from the requirements of installation and use of an ignition interlock device under subsection (1) of this section. [1987 c.746 §2; 1989 c.576 §1; 1991 c.453 §15; 1993 c.382 §3; 1993 c.627 §6; 1999 c.770 §7; 2001 c.786 §4; 2003 c.26 §1]
     813.604
Notice of court order; notation on hardship permit; rules. (1) When a court
orders installation of an ignition interlock device pursuant to ORS 813.602,
the court shall send a copy of the order to the Department of Transportation.
