(b) “Initiated” means the date the conviction is entered on the person’s Oregon driving record. (c) A conviction is entered on the person’s Oregon driving record when it is manually placed on the record by DMV or when it is transmitted from the reporting jurisdiction if received electronically. (2) Except as provided in ORS 809.400(1)(b), DMV will suspend or revoke the driving privileges of any resident of this state upon receiving notice of the conviction of the person in another jurisdiction for an offense which, if committed in this state, would be grounds for suspending or revoking of the person’s driving privileges. (3) DMV shall suspend the commercial driving privileges of a resident of this state pursuant to ORS 809.510(7), upon receiving notice that the person’s commercial driving privileges have been suspended or revoked in another jurisdiction under circumstances that would require DMV to suspend driving privileges if the conduct had occurred in Oregon. The period of suspension will be the same as would be imposed if the conduct had occurred in Oregon. (4) Oregon DMV shall cease all non-commercial suspensions added to a person’s Oregon driving record before May 14, 2024, that were a result of DMV receiving notification from another state, territory, federal possession or district, or providence of Canada that the person’s driving privileges were suspended or revoked in that jurisdiction under circumstances that would have required DMV to suspend the person’s driving privileges under ORS 813.410(1) if the conduct had occurred in Oregon.
