• House Bill 3380 will allow people with regular Class C driver licenses to drive a passenger vehicle, van or minivan for a community based transportation service, even if the vehicle is owned by a mass transit authority. The bill removes these vehicles from the definition of “commercial vehicle,” which requires the operator to hold a commercial driver license.
• HB 2266 requires DMV to notify the Oregon Department of Education whenever the driving privileges of a school bus endorsement holder are suspended, canceled or revoked. The bill is designed to improve the notification process.
• HB 2435 defines the term “vehicle appraiser” to be a person who holds an appraiser’s certificate issued by the Oregon Department of Transportation and is paid to estimate the value of vehicles. The department may establish education requirements for the certificate.
• HB 2437 requires that applicants for a vehicle dealer’s certificate pass a test within one year of completing the eight hours of education required for the certificate.
• HB 3377 authorizes DMV to adopt administrative rules that allow it to sanction vehicle dismantlers for violations of their dismantler licenses. Current law has no flexibility, allowing only a fine or license revocation.
