2011 Oregon Revised Statutes
ORS Volume 4, Chapters 131 - 170
ORS Chapter 137
137.286 Minimum fines for misdemeanors and felonies.
(1) Unless a specific minimum fine is provided by law, the minimum fine for a misdemeanor is $100.
(2) Unless a specific minimum fine is provided by law, the minimum fine for a felony is $200.
(3) A court may waive payment of the minimum fine established by this section, in whole or in part, if the court finds that requiring payment of the minimum fine would be inconsistent with justice in the case. In making its determination under this subsection, the court shall consider:
(a) The financial resources of the defendant and the burden that payment of the minimum fine will impose, with due regard to the other obligations of the defendant; and
(b) The extent to which that burden can be alleviated by allowing the defendant to pay the monetary obligations imposed by the court on an installment basis or on other conditions to be fixed by the court.
(4) This section does not affect the manner in which a court imposes or reduces monetary obligations other than fines. [2011 c.597 10]
