Oregon Introduces Bill to Prohibit Sale of Aftermarket Parts, including Tires
Oregon has introduced a bill, HB2186, that will prohibit the sale of aftermarket parts, including tires, in the state.
The bill was introduced by Oregon Speaker of the house Dave Hunt at the request of Governor Ted Kulongoski.
Section 3, Part D of HB2186
Restrictions and prohibitions on the sale and distribution of after-market motor vehicle
parts, including but not limited to tires, if alternatives are available that decrease
greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles;
This Act will take effect immediately on passage.
SECTION 4. This 2009 Act being necessary for the immediate preservation of the public
peace, health and safety, an emergency is declared to exist, and this 2009 Act takes effect
on its passage.
Here is a link to the PDF of the whole bill hosted at the Oregon Governments website, /www.leg.state.or.us
This PDF is actually the Official Summary of HB2186 from the Oregon Legislative website. This is not a Hoax.
Oregon Bill HB2186
Sema action network is working to defeat this, encouraging people to write the Oregon legislators requesting there opposition. Sema action network campaigns have worked for this before. Recently, this helped lead to the "cash for clunkers" program being removed from a federal bill.

URGENT LEGISLATIVE ALERT
Oregon Introduces Bill to Prohibit Sale of Aftermarket Parts
At the request of Governor Theodore Kulongoski, the Oregon Speaker of the House has introduced legislation (H.B. 2186) to prohibit the sale and distribution of aftermarket motor vehicle parts if alternatives are available that “decrease greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles.” The bill is primarily focused on aftermarket tires and would authorize the Environmental Quality Commission to implement enforcement regulations, likely based on a rolling resistance calculation.
We Urge You to Contact Oregon Speaker of the House Dave Hunt and Members of the Environment and Water Committee (Contact Information Below) Immediately to Request Their Opposition to H.B. 2186
* H.B. 2186 would regulate vehicle fuel economy, an authority reserved to the federal government.
* H.B. 2186 could ban tires that may have improved performance, handling or appearance features, based solely on a rolling resistance rating. In addition, this program could easily distract consumers from focusing on more important safety issues such as tire inflation and overloading of vehicles.
* H.B. 2186 would force consumers to purchase only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires because the program essentially exempts OEM-selected tires and unfairly implies that they are superior to aftermarket products.
* H.B. 2186 could prohibit aftermarket parts designed to either personalize or optimize specific vehicle performance attributes including handling, towing, suspension, fuel economy, etc.
* H.B. 2186 provides broad authority to government regulators and could limit a range of aftermarket parts currently available to consumers based on the subjective determination of government regulators.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact Oregon Speaker Dave Hunt and the House Environment and Water Committee immediately to urge his opposition to H.B. 2186.

My thoughts noted in ( )
* H.B. 2186 would regulate vehicle fuel economy, an authority reserved to the federal government.
(Fuel economy? **** it, get rid of the speed bumps on every street and the hundreds of useless stop signs before you bitch at us about fuel economy)
* H.B. 2186 could ban tires that may have improved performance, handling or appearance features, based solely on a rolling resistance rating. In addition, this program could easily distract consumers from focusing on more important safety issues such as tire inflation and overloading of vehicles.
(Car people take care of their ****. Dont hold us back from having **** that works...)
* H.B. 2186 would force consumers to purchase only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) tires because the program essentially exempts OEM-selected tires and unfairly implies that they are superior to aftermarket products.
(Tires on "OEM" cars are based on what tire manufacturer can hook the vehicle manufacturer up with.)
* H.B. 2186 could prohibit aftermarket parts designed to either personalize or optimize specific vehicle performance attributes including handling, towing, suspension, fuel economy, etc.
(Why not? You make millions on taxes each year from that ****...)

Re: Oregon Introduces Bill to Prohibit Sale of Aftermarket Parts, including Tires
maybe not, but the fact is that people are electing officials who have this type of mentality. I think I'm too young to tell if it is a trend or not, but it just seems to be an increasingly prevalent mentality.

Re: Oregon Introduces Bill to Prohibit Sale of Aftermarket Parts, including Tires
If it does pass, I'm opening up an import shop in vancouver, wa. haha..jk.
Of all the issues we have in the world. I'm surprised theres people gettin paid to come up with stuff like this as if it were some major world problem.
The oem tire part is funny. Considering vehicle manufacturers don't make there own tires. My tire store, sells tires to dealerships every single day, Oem sized and larger low profile ones.
