SECTION 1. Section 2 of this 2017 Act is added to and made a part of the Oregon Vehicle

SECTION 2. (1) An impact tax is hereby imposed on motor vehicles as provided in this
section. A person shall pay the tax if the person owns a motor vehicle registered in this state

(2) The amount of the tax is $1,000.
(3) The department for good cause may extend for up to 30 days the time for making any
