The Skanner: Oregon House Votes to End Driver's License Suspensions for Failure to Pay Fines

“We are grateful for the leadership of Representative Chris Gorsek (D-49) and Representative Ronald H. Noble (R-24) in successfully moving HB4065 out of the House of Representatives in this short legislative session. Suspending driver’s licenses for failure to pay, as opposed to offenses that pose a real public safety threat, negatively impacts thousands of Oregon residents who depend on their cars for work, childcare, education, and access to healthcare,” said Justice Action Network President and Executive Director, Holly Harris.
