Oregon wants to tax Oregon drivers by the miles they drive. Here is a summery of ORS 810
1. A 1.5 cent per mile driven gas tax.
2. The tax will be administrated by a for profit private corporation.
3. The tax will no longer be collected at the pump. Drivers will receive a monthly bill from the contractor.
4. If the bill is not paid on time a penalty will be assessed.
5. A GPS will be installed in every car to track miles driven and location.
6. Your personal information including GPS information will be available to law enforcement and government agencies.
7. The GPS will be leased from the contractor and the car owner billed monthly.
8. The car owner may opt to lease a high tech mileage monitor instead of a GPS.
9. If the car has a high tech monitor and the driver buys gas outside of Oregon they will pay the gas tax for both states. To get a refund the driver must apply to the contractor with documents. if the contractor agrees to the refund the driver will receive a tax credit on future gas purchases.
10. If the car owner drives less miles than is ordinary the contractor may allege the driver has tampered with the monitoring device which is a class A misdemeanor.
11. Any dispute will be investigated by the contractor.
12.No complaint against the contracor will be permitted to be filed in Oregon Circuit Court.
