Violations are offenses that are punishable by a fine, but are not punishable by a term of imprisonment. The most common types of violations include Traffic, Boating, and Fish & Wildlife. The court will not appoint or pay for you to have an attorney for violation cases, but if you wish, you may hire an attorney at your own expense. Please contact the Oregon State Bar if you need help finding an attorney.
If you are charged with a CRIME or a violation requiring a mandatory personal court appearance, you MUST COME TO COURT at the time and place indicated on the bottom of your summons (citation) and/or in the Notice of Scheduled Appearance sent by the Court.
If you are charged with a violation in Umatilla or Morrow County Circuit Court, you may be able to appear by phone or online before your Appear By date. See the sections below for additional information.
If you are charged with a CRIME or a MANDATORY APPEARANCE VIOLATION (see section above), you MUST COME TO COURT at the time and place indicated on the bottom of your summons (citation) and/or in the Notice of Scheduled Appearance sent by the Court.
This means you do not wish to fight the charges. If you do this, you will be convicted of the offense(s). To choose this option, do all of the following (Step 3 is optional) on or before the appearance date indicated on the bottom of your summons (citation).
IMPORTANT: Choosing Option 2 waives (gives up) your right to trial. The Court may consider your written statement when establishing the amount of the fine. If the Court finds you GUILTY, the Court may keep all or part of the money you pay, but will return any amount left over after taking out the sanction amount.
IMPORTANT: Option 3 is a written request for a hearing (trial). The Court will mail you notice of the time and place when you MUST appear for trial - be sure your name and address are correct. The Court may convict you and impose further penalties if you do not appear for trial at the time given in the notice.
IMPORTANT: If you submit the base fine with your declaration under Option 4 and you are found NOT GUILTY, the Court will apply the amount to any fines owed to the court in other matters, and then return the remainder of your payment. If you are found GUILTY, the Court will return any amount remaining after taking out the fines and fees ordered by the judge. Please write the case/citation number on your check or money order.
NOTE: Unless your citation involves mandatory appearance charges, this may satisfy your requirement to "appear" for the specific citation number you enter. See the Mandatory Appearance section above. If you have multiple citations, you must "appear" on each one. You cannot "appear" via ePay for criminal charges, but you can pay existing fines and fees.
If you know your citation number, you can use your Visa or Mastercard debit or credit card to pay your fine using our OJD Courts ePay site on or before the appearance date indicated on the bottom of your summons (citation). If there are any letters near your citation number, they may be part of the number (e.g., weigh master citations normally begin with WM followed by the 6-digit number).
If you do not appear (in person, on-line, in writing, or by phone) on or before the appearance date indicated on the bottom of your summons (citation), or if you initially appear, but later fail to appear for trial or fail to submit your Declaration by the date allowed, the violations clerk or judge will enter a default judgment, and will initiate suspension of your driving privileges. The entire presumptive fine will be assessed, and additional fees will be added as applicable without further notice.
When you appear at the courthouse for your trial, you will need to be prepared to present your case at the time listed on your trial notice. Normally violation trials are scheduled to last 15 minutes, so each side only has a few minutes to present their case - Have your information and comments organized.
Please contact the court during business hours to see if your appearance may be moved or extended. Many violation matters can be handled by phone or in writing at any time after the court receives the citation as long as you contact us on or before your appearance date.
If you wish to change the date (continue) of a trial or mandatory appearance matter, you must request this in writing (use the court's Motion and Order to Continue Violation Hearing form) at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the appearance date and have it approved BEFORE the court date.
If you wish to appear by phone for a trial or mandatory appearance matter, you must request this in writing (use the court's Motion for Phone Appearance form) and have it approved BEFORE the court date.
All fines and fees imposed on violation judgments are due immediately unless deferred payment arrangements are made with the court. Additional fees will be imposed as allowed by rule and statute without further notification. Additionally, the court may request suspension of your driving privileges for failure to appear, failure to pay, or failure to comply with a court order. Please see our Payments page for information regarding payment options and certain additional fees.
By mail: Respond early enough to allow for mail delivery. Follow the instructions on the back of the ticket. Enclose a check or money order for the full amount indicated on the front of the ticket. Write the ticket number, your license plate number, and the state of the vehicle registration on the front of your payment.

This memorandum is intended to reiterate existing policy that allows Regional Administrators and Area Directors discretion to not group violations in appropriate cases to achieve a deterrent effect. In particular, the agency may refrain from grouping violations where there is evidence that worksite conditions giving rise to the violations are separate and distinct, or where different conduct gave rise to the violations.
This enforcement discretion is an important tool in OSHA's arsenal that helps deter employers from flagrantly disregarding their responsibilities to protect workers and comply with OSHA standards and regulations. Proposed OSHA enforcement activity may lose its deterrent effect when citations are grouped. Regional Administrators and Area Directors may therefore exercise discretion where the evidence allows violations to be cited separately without grouping, when appropriate to achieve an adequate deterrent effect. This enforcement approach not only enhances deterrence, but also more accurately captures an employer's overall lack of compliance.
The Field Operations Manual (FOM Chapter 4-Violations, Section X. Combining and Grouping Violations) and several other compliance directives provide scenarios where grouping violations should normally be considered. Grouping is appropriate when the same abatement measures correct multiple violations and/or when substantially similar violative conduct or conditions giving rise to the violations is involved. Grouping violations should be considered when:
In cases where grouping does not elevate the gravity or classification and resulting penalty, then violations should not be grouped if the evidence allows for separate citations. In situations where an existing directive encourages grouping, discretion may be used to cite separately, such as but not limited to, in cases where violations have differing abatement methods, each violative condition may result in death or serious physical harm, and each violative condition exposes workers to a related but different hazard. Area Offices shall document decisions not to group violations in the case file when discretion is used to achieve an additional deterrent effect.
