SECTION 4. ORS 618.136, as amended by section 2, chapter 385, Oregon Laws 2019, is amended
to read:
618.136. (1) The license fee for each type or class of commercial weighing or measuring instru-
ment or device shall be established by the State Department of Agriculture in an amount not to
exceed the maximum limits under ORS 618.141. Such fees shall be established in the amounts nec-
essary for the department to carry out and enforce the provisions of ORS 618.010 to 618.246 relating
to the supervision of commercial weighing and measuring instruments or devices, and to maintain
an emergency fund with an unencumbered balance in an amount not to exceed the cost of adminis-
tering ORS 618.010 to 618.246 during a representative four-month period in order to ensure the or-
derly supervision of commercial weighing and measuring instruments or devices within this state.
(2) License fees become past due July 1 each year for renewals, and on the date of first com-
mercial use for original installations.
(3) Except as provided in this subsection, the department may not establish a license fee
under this section that is more than three percent higher than the license fee charged during
the preceding year for a commercial weighing or measuring instrument or device of the same

type and class. Notwithstanding the three percent limit but subject to the maximum limits
under ORS 618.141, when establishing a license fee under this section the department may
round the fee amount to the next higher whole dollar amount. The department may not
change the license fee for the same type and class of commercial weighing or measuring in-
strument or device more than once each year.
[(3)] (4) All moneys received by the department pursuant to ORS 618.010 to 618.246 shall be paid
into the Department of Agriculture Service Fund. Such moneys are continuously appropriated to the
department for the purpose of administering those provisions of ORS 618.010 to 618.246 relating to
testing, inspection, licensing and regulation of commercial weighing and measuring instruments or
