5/10/07-Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed a bill into law that includes a provision that gets tough with those driving truck who don't heed their out-of-service orders. It increases the minimum and maximum penalty for violating OOS orders.
Existing Oregon law requires violators to face between $1,100 and $2,750 fines. The new law, previously HB2268, boosts the fine range from between $2,750 to $11,000. It also provides for the reinstatement of a "lifetime suspension" of a commercial driver's license after 10 years.
