ABOUT THE SCHEDULE 
Effective Date: This "schedule of fines" (SOF-24) supersedes SOF-23 and all previous fine schedules 
and summaries and is effective on September 1, 2024. 
Changes to Previous Schedule (SOF-23): SOF-24 reflects the following substantive change from 
SOF- 23: 
• Removes references to Class E violations, which were repealed by House Bill 4002 (2024) as of 
September 1, 2024. 
• Technical changes to statutory references. 
Purposes: OSCA is publishing SOF-24 as a helpful guide for courts, law enforcement, and public safety 
partners. The schedule is not a substitute for reading the actual law. 
SOF-24 provides summarized information on: 
• the amount a citing enforcement officer must enter on the citation in the place designated for 
"presumptive fine" when charging a person with a violation offense under state law, regardless of the 
court the officer cites the person to appear in;and 
• the minimum and maximum amounts courts can impose upon conviction. 
The presumptive fine is the amount the defendant can pay to resolve the violation offense without having to do 
anything else, unless the law or the court requires the defendant to appear. (See ORS 153.061.) The court 
can impose a higher fine, up to the maximum statutory sanction, if the law or the court requires the defendant 
to appear. 
Minimum Fine Amounts: The minimum fine amounts included in this schedule are the amounts provided in 
) ORS 153.021 (1 ). However, ORS 153.021 allows courts to waive payment of the minimum fine, in whole or in 
) part, if the court determines that requiring payment of the minimum fine would be inconsistent with justice in 
the case. 
Offenses Included: SOF-24 includes amounts for Class A, B, C, and D violations and common 
"specific fine violations." 
Local Surcharges (Jefferson County and Multnomah County): Pursuant to Chief Justice Orders 16-026 
and 16-030, in accordance with the process set forth in ORS 1.188, there is a $5 surcharge on each fine 
assessed by a circuit court for traffic offenses as defined in ORS 801.555(2) and parking ordinances in 
Jefferson and Multnomah Counties. 
What Presumptive Fines Are Not/Do Not Do: The presumptive fines listed in SOF-24: 
• are not bail, security-release amounts, or security-release deposit amounts; they do not affect security­
release procedures under ORS 135.265;
