ORS 806.245: Termination of future responsibility filing requirement; reasons.

A termination of the requirement to maintain a future responsibility filing does not remove a person’s responsibility to comply with financial responsibility requirements. The Department of Transportation shall terminate requirements for a future responsibility filing when any of the following occurs: (1) The person on whose behalf the filing was made dies. (2) More than one year has passed from the date the filing was required under ORS 806.200 or 806.230 or more than three years have passed from the date the filing was required. (3) A person on whose behalf the filing was made requests termination and either: (a) The person was required to file because of an error committed by the department; or (b) The person was required to file because of an error committed by an insurance company in notifying the department regarding the correctness of proof of compliance with financial responsibility requirements provided under ORS 806.150. (4) A person who was required to file under ORS 806.150 requests termination and the department determines either: (a) That the person was in fact in compliance with financial responsibility requirements as of the date specified by the department by rule under ORS 806.150; or (b) That the person reasonably and in good faith believed that the person was in compliance with financial responsibility requirements on the date specified by the department by rule under ORS 806.150. (5) A person who was required to file because of failure to prove under ORS 806.210 that the person was in compliance with financial responsibility requirements requests termination and the department determines either: (a) That the person was in fact in compliance with financial responsibility requirements at the time of the accident; or (b) That the person reasonably and in good faith believed that the person was in compliance with financial responsibility requirements at the time of the accident. (6) A person’s hardship permit expires and the filing was required only for issuance of the hardship permit under ORS 807.240. [1987 c.258 §4; 2009 c.257 §7; 2019 c.312 §6; 2025 c.415 §45]
