I lived in Oregon in the 70ies, it was a blue state HARD working Americans now it’s another shit hole state thanks to California residents that leave their state because they can’t stand what’s happening. It’s like Biden shitting in his pants the smell goes everywhere he goes
We used to float a river with a deck on top of 6 inner tubes. We were told by a sheriff that the moment we pulled out an oar and manipulated our heading, it officially became a boat and needed to be registered. That was back in the 80's
Did yall not read the bill? https://olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/Downloads/MeasureDocument/HB2982
It explicitly states it doesn't apply to
(h) Nonmotorized boats that are less than 10 feet in length that are:
(A) Engaged in whitewater recreation activities, as defined by the board by rule; and
(B) Operated on waters of this state identified by the board by rule.
edit: Board by rule example: You don’t need a permit on free boating days designated by the Marine Board
Please everyone remember misinformation, disinformation, and all sorts of shenanigans happens on all sides. Be diligent and read the sources
Oh. I went to AI. What does it mean board by rule?
You also don’t need a permit on free boating days designated by the Marine Board. and any other times and places they designate
but regardless these are exempt: Nonmotorized boats under 10 feet (single tubes, small kayaks, SUPs.)
They need money and that's why they are doing this.
I can float any boat without motor here and no need for any type of permit.
How many bodies of water are identified as not needing the permit?
for boats larger then 10ft? i didnt look into it
I went on the link and it gave me.
Cannot display measure. This measure has not yet been released or doesn't exist. Please try again after the measure is released.

Thank you so much.

Shooting up in the street, no ticket. Inner tube without a permit, ticket. Way to go Oregon. Priorities.

Which state?
Salt River Arizona
Thanks.
Had to register and pay a fee for my kayak in Ohio years ago, and every 2-3 years since.
Dear Lord. I didn't have to register a canoe in WA, so this is all brand new in Oregon right now.
MAGA! People floated in the river for free! Why are made up fees being accepted by free people?
I left.
They take away your rights then sell them back to you.
Lol, welcome to Pennsylvania. Had to permit my paddle board since forever
