Relating to transportation.
SB 840 modifies Oregon's vehicle dealer and dismantler regulations. It sets a $250 maximum document processing fee for dealers using an "integrator" (a third-party service) and $200 without one, requires dealers to conduct title checks before sales, and mandates disclosure of vehicle defects found during those checks. The bill also updates rules for dismantlers handling wrecked vehicles, requiring them to label ownership status when taking possession without proper title documents. These changes directly affect vehicle dealers, dismantlers, and car buyers by standardizing fees and improving title transparency. The bill took effect January 1, 2026.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized from its A-Engrossed version to Enrolled status, adding new rules for self-serve kiosks and clarifying definitions for military family benefits. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a prohibition on the Department of Transportation adopting rules that set fees for qualified providers, and the requirement that rules be developed in consultation with integrators and vehicle dealers.

The bill's scope remains focused on transportation regulations, but the Enrolled version expands the self-serve kiosk section with new subsections regarding fee limitations and consultation requirements.
