Relating to snowmobiles; and prescribing an effective date.
SB 1565 increases Oregon snowmobile registration and renewal fees from $10 to $30 per vehicle. It directly affects all snowmobile owners in Oregon who register or renew their registrations under state law. The bill amends Oregon Revised Statute 821.320 to set these new fees, which take effect 91 days after the 2026 legislative session ends. The change applies only to fees imposed after the effective date and does not alter other snowmobile regulations.

MINOR
The bill transitions from a draft introduction to an enrolled final version, indicating it has passed both legislative chambers and received gubernatorial approval. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, establishing a $30 fee for snowmobile registration and renewal (increased from $10) and a $7 fee for out-of-state permits.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability are unchanged; the only difference is the addition of official signatures and dates confirming the bill's enactment.
TIMELINE
Added official signatures and dates for the Senate, House, Governor, and Secretary of State, confirming the bill has been enacted into law.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'SUMMARY' section and introductory notes regarding bill formatting conventions, as these are no longer needed in the final enrolled version.
