Allows previous vehicle owners to notify court of transfer, avoiding personal appearance for traffic citations.
Oregon HB4137 amends the law to allow previous owners of vehicles to notify the court of a transfer of interest, avoiding personal appearance for traffic citations. If a traffic ticket is issued to a person who sold a vehicle before the traffic offense occurred, the old owner can inform the court that they are not liable for the citation. This applies to citations for parking, abandoning, or operating a motor vehicle. The court must dismiss the citation if the Department of Transportation verifies the transfer.
