The fine per se doesn't go away, but the ability to collect it does.

I guess you never heard of debt collectors, credit ratings, liens, and interstate cooperation in these matters, eh?

Just try that and see what happens.

Oregon does not have the ability to place liens on real property in another state and a negative credit rating is a small matter, especially when compared to filing bankruptcy.

This couple could move out of Oregon tomorrow and there is very little the state could do about collecting their ‘fine’.
