§ 147.315 Charging fees to applicants prohibited

This rule means you don't have to pay any money to apply for the process covered under this section of Oregon law (ORS 147.005 to 147.367). The court or agency handling your application cannot charge you a fee at any point during this proceeding.

This protection matters because it removes money as a barrier. If you qualify to apply, you can do so without worrying about application costs getting in your way. The rule keeps this process open to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
