(2) A corrections officer, who is a resident of Oregon but is employed in a correctional facility located in a state other than Oregon, may request that any driver or vehicle record kept by the Department of Transportation that contains or is required to contain the corrections officer’s residence address contain instead the address of the correctional facility employing the corrections officer.

(b) Contain verification of employment as determined adequate by the department to establish eligibility for this service.

On or before the date on which the four-year period ends, the household member shall notify the department of a change of address as provided in ORS 803.220 or 807.560.
