(1) Before the expiration of any license or a license with an endorsement under the vehicle code, the Department of Transportation shall notify the person to whom the license was issued of the approaching expiration. Within a reasonable time prior to the expiration date, the notice shall be mailed to the person to whom the license was issued at the address shown in the files maintained by the department.
(2) The department is not required to notify the person of an approaching expiration if the person’s license has been suspended, canceled or revoked or if the person has failed to notify the department of a change of address as required under ORS 807.560.
(3) Failure to receive a notice of expiration from the department is not a defense to a charge of driving with an expired license. However, the court may dismiss the charge if the person renews the license before the scheduled court appearance.
(4) The department responsibility to maintain records concerning notice under this section is as provided under ORS 802.210. [1983 c.338 §309; 1985 c.16 §130; 1985 c.597 §9; 1993 c.751 §41; 2003 c.14 §476]
