Relating to motor vehicles.

HB 2534 modifies Oregon's riot statute (ORS 166.015) to explicitly include using a motor vehicle to block traffic, create hazards, or impede movement as "tumultuous and violent conduct" during a riot. It directly affects individuals involved in protests or gatherings where vehicles are used to obstruct traffic, making such actions a Class C felony. Key exceptions clarify that safe driving maneuvers (like brief stops for turns), funeral processions, and officially approved routes are excluded from the definition. The bill is pending in committee as of June 2025, with no effective date specified yet.
