Ben Botkin(Oregon Capital Chronicle) A proposal in the Legislature would expand Oregon's intoxicated driving law to cover all drugs, including legal medications that can be abused and impair drivers.Oregon is one of four states that fails to include all drugs in its law that dictates when a driver can be charged with driving under the influence of intoxicants. House Bill 2316, heard Tuesday in the House Judiciary Committee, would close that loophole allowing motorists on drugs to evade these criminal charges.
