Or. Admin. Code § 125-155-0700 - Collision and Damage Reporting

(1) Coverages for the state's vehicles, drivers and loss reporting requirements are found in DAS RM self-insurance policies, ORS chapter 30.260-30.300, and ORS chapter 278.

(2) Drivers are responsible to provide their own proof of legally adequate insurance for all uses they make of private vehicles and vehicles they rent for any mixture of state and personal uses. DAS RM provides certificates of self-insurance coverage for rental vehicles that are used exclusively for official state business.

(3) The state shall not pay an employee for damage to an employee's vehicle, any insurance deductibles, or increased insurance rates due to an accident occurring while on official state business. Mileage reimbursements are the only amounts the state or its agencies may pay to any employee for using his or her private vehicle to conduct official state business. Mileage reimbursement details are found in DAS Chief Finance Office Oregon Accounting Manual and ORS chapter 283.

(4) Drivers must promptly report to their agency all collisions or damage occurring to any vehicle while on official state business.

(a) Agencies must review each report of collision or damage involving any vehicle in use on official state business.

(b) The review must:

(A) Determine whether the collision or damage was caused by unsafe driving techniques; and

(B) Address driver accountability; and

(C) Make recommendations to prevent recurrence as appropriate.

(5) Agencies must report to DAS RM all damage occurring to any state-owned vehicle resulting in total damage costs exceeding the agency self-insurance property deductible.
