OAR 735-152-0060
Civil Penalty Matrix for Certified Dismantlers

DMV may impose a civil penalty against a motor vehicle dismantler for any violation described under ORS 803.140 (Application), 819.012 (Failure to follow procedures for a totaled vehicle), 819.016 (When salvage title required), 819.040 (Illegal salvage procedures), 822.120 (Bond or letter of credit requirements), 822.125 (Privileges granted by certificate), 822.130 (Inspection of books, records, inventory and premises), 822.133 (Requirements of dismantler operating motor vehicle dismantling business), 822.135 (Improperly conducting motor vehicle dismantling business), 822.137 (Dismantler conduct resulting in civil penalty) or DMV rules. DMV adopts this civil penalty matrix to determine civil penalty amounts that may be imposed against dismantlers for specific violations. DMV may modify a civil penalty assessed against a dismantler under the provisions of OAR 735-152-0045 (Civil Penalty Consideration; Certified Dismantlers). Under this rule, an offense is a “second or subsequent offense” if a dismantler committed the same offense within three years of the offense under consideration.
