Oregon Statutes - Chapter 153 - Violations and Traffic Offenses - Section 153.125 - Base fine amounts generally.

(1) The base fine required in violation proceedings under this chapter is the sum of a foundation amount calculated under ORS 153.125 to 153.145 plus the unitary and county assessments established under ORS 137.290 and 137.309 for the violation. The amount of the county assessment under ORS 137.309 shall be calculated using the foundation amount determined under ORS 153.125 to 153.145, and may not be calculated using the maximum fine for the violation.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 153.125 to 153.145, the foundation amount to be used in calculating the base fine required in violation proceedings under this chapter is 50 percent of the maximum fine established for the violation.

(3) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 153.125 to 153.145, the foundation amount to be used for a specific fine violation in calculating the base fine required in a violation proceeding under this chapter is the maximum fine provided for the violation.

(4) If the law creating a violation establishes a minimum fine, and the foundation amount calculated for the violation under ORS 153.125 to 153.145 is less than the minimum fine for the violation, the foundation amount to be used in calculating the base fine required in a violation proceeding under this chapter is the minimum fine established for the violation.
