    Oregon DUI Statutes: The Code Sections That Control Your Case

    The Oregon DUII statutes — the code sections, implied-consent law, BAC limits and first-offense sentencing ranges, cited to the official code.

    The statutes that control Oregon DUII cases

    DUII in Oregon is defined by Or. Rev. Stat. § 813.010, and the chemical-testing rules sit in Or. Rev. Stat. § 813.100. Both are published in the official state code at oregonlegislature.gov, which is the only version that governs — summaries elsewhere, including ours, can lag amendments.
