MODERATE
This bill was finalized in its enrolled version after passing through both House and Senate amendments. The main substantive change is updating the maximum personal payment for marriage solemnization from $100 to $200 plus actual costs, and adding a requirement that this amount be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index. The bill also clarifies that charging these fees doesn't violate Oregon's conflict of interest laws.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains the same - it applies to all Oregon counties and officials authorized to solemnize marriages, but the financial provisions have been expanded and made more flexible.
FISCAL
Increased the maximum personal payment for marriage solemnization from $100 to $200 plus actual costs.
REQUIREMENT
Added requirement that the personal payment amount be indexed annually to the Consumer Price Index, with adjustments effective July 1 each year.
Added detailed rules about how actual costs can be calculated, including verification requirements for food and lodging expenses and mileage reimbursement rates for travel by personal vehicle.

Added provision clarifying that charging these personal payments does not violate Oregon's conflict of interest laws (ORS chapter 244).
TECHNICAL
Removed the summary section and editorial notes that were present in the B-Engrossed version but not needed in the final enrolled bill.
