Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:

  SECTION 1. ORS 823.035 is amended to read:
  823.035. (1) Notwithstanding ORS 9.320 and 823.031 (2), an
individual who is not an attorney may represent that individual
or other persons who consent to such representation at any
proceeding before the Department of Transportation involving the
regulation of transportation matters pursuant to ORS chapter 825.
  (2) Notwithstanding ORS 9.320 and 823.031 (2), an individual
who is not an attorney may represent that individual or labor
organizations, railroads, motor carriers or government agencies
who consent to such representation in any proceeding before the
department involving the regulation of transportation matters
pursuant to ORS 824.020 to 824.042, 824.050 to 824.110 and
824.200 to 824.256.
   { +  (3) Notwithstanding ORS 9.320 and 823.031 (2), an
individual who is not an attorney may represent that individual
or other persons who consent to such representation in any
proceeding before the department involving the regulation of
transportation matters pursuant to ORS chapter 826. + }
    { - (3) - }  { +  (4) + } Any compromises, agreements,
admissions, stipulations, statements of fact or other such action
taken by the representative at any such proceeding is binding on
those represented to the same extent as if done by an attorney. A
person so represented may not thereafter claim that any such
proceeding was legally defective because the person was not
represented by an attorney.
    { - (4) - }  { +  (5) + } As used in this section, 'attorney'
has the meaning for that term provided in ORS 9.005.
