SB 1565 Oregon Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to snowmobiles; and prescribing an effective date.

SB 1565 increases Oregon snowmobile registration and renewal fees from $10 to $30 per vehicle. It directly affects all snowmobile owners in Oregon who register or renew their registrations under state law. The bill amends Oregon Revised Statute 821.320 to set these new fees, which take effect 91 days after the 2026 legislative session ends. The change applies only to fees imposed after the effective date and does not alter other snowmobile regulations.
