Oregon Revised Statutes, 1967, Sections 346.610,
346.620, and 346.630, last amended in 1981

Oregon statutory law guarantees a blind person the
legal right to be accompanied by a dog guide in all
public accommodations and on all public
transportation.  No extra charge can be levied because
of dog guide's presence, but the dog guide user is
liable for any damage the dog might cause to the
premises.  Dog guides are exempt from licensing fees.

Landlords must provide equal housing accommodations to
dog guide owners, and may not assess additional rent,
nor charge a non-refundable deposit because of a dog
guide's presence.  Violation can result in a $200 fine
along with court costs and reasonable attorney fees. 
(*346.630)

Public accommodations include restaurants, stores,
hotels, and all facilities to which the public is
invited.  (*346.610)

Public transportation includes buses, trains, taxis,
airplanes, and all other conveyances offered for
public use.  (*346.610, 346.620)

Violation: Any person who interferes with the above
enumerated rights is punishable under Oregon law.
