Statute Text
Provisions of judgment.
(1) Judgments entered under this chapter may include:
(a) Imposition of
a sentence to pay a fine;
(b) Costs and
restitution authorized by law;
(c) A requirement
that the fine, costs and restitution, if any, be paid out of the presumptive
fine;
(d) Remission of
any balance of a presumptive fine to the defendant; and
(e) Any other
provision authorized by law.
(2)
Notwithstanding ORS 137.106, if the court orders restitution in a default
judgment entered under ORS 153.102, a defendant may allege an inability to pay
the full amount of monetary sanctions imposed, including restitution, and
request a hearing to determine whether the defendant is unable to pay or to
establish a payment schedule by filing a written request with the court within
one year after the entry of the judgment. The court shall set a hearing on the
issue of the defendants ability to pay upon receipt of the request and shall
give notice to the district attorney. The district attorney shall give notice
to the victim of the date, time and place of the hearing. The court may
determine a payment schedule for monetary sanctions imposed, including
restitution ordered under this subsection, if the defendant establishes at the
hearing that the defendant is unable to pay the ordered restitution in full.
(3) If a trial is
held in a violation proceeding, or a default judgment is entered against the
defendant under ORS 153.102, the court may impose any fine within the statutory
limits for the violation. If a defendant pleads no contest under ORS 153.061 (3)
and the court accepts the plea and enters judgment against the defendant, the
amount of the fine imposed against the defendant by the court may not exceed
the presumptive fine established for the violation under ORS 153.019 and
153.020.
(4) A judge may
suspend operation of any part of a judgment entered under this chapter upon
condition that the defendant pay the nonsuspended portion of a fine within a
specified period of time. If the defendant fails to pay the nonsuspended
portion of the fine within the specified period of time, the suspended portion
of the judgment becomes operative without further proceedings by the court and
the suspended portion of the fine becomes immediately due and payable.
(5) The court may
not issue notice to the Department of Transportation to suspend the defendants
driving privileges unless a trial has been required. The failure of the
defendant to appear at the trial does not prevent the court from issuing notice
to the department to suspend the defendants driving privileges.
(6) Entry of a
default judgment under ORS 153.102 does not preclude the arrest and prosecution
of the defendant for the crime of failure to appear in a violation proceeding
under ORS 153.992.
(7) If a person
held commercial driving privileges as described in ORS 807.018 at the time the
offense was committed, a court may not defer entry of a judgment or allow an
individual to enter into a diversion program that would prevent a conviction
for a traffic offense from appearing on the driving record of the holder. This
subsection applies to all traffic offenses, whether committed while driving a
motor vehicle or a commercial motor vehicle, but does not apply to parking
violations. [1999 c.1051 §25; 2003 c.670 §3; 2005 c.649 §30; 2007 c.122 §12;
2007 c.784 §7; 2009 c.395 §4; 2011 c.355 §18; 2011 c.597 §27; 2012 c.89 §5;
2013 c.237 §30]
