The Oregon legislature is at it again, this time attempting to make it more difficult or impossible for some people who get arrested for DUII in Oregon to obtain hardship permits.

The bill, if approved as law, would lengthen the waiting period from one to three years for a person applying for a hardship driving permit if that person either has prior DUI convictions or refused to take the chemical test. (Oregon DUI chemical tests can be either blood or breath).

 Another bill raises the fine for an Oregon DUI conviction with an alcohol level of .15 or greater to a staggering $2,000.00.

We will keep on top of this story and give you more as it develops. In the meantime, learn more about Oregon DUI Law or contact Bart Herron if you have any questions about drunk driving law in Oregon.
