Statute Text
Application for and issuance of dealers license.
(1) Every person, before becoming
a dealer in motor vehicle fuel in this state, shall make an application to the
Department of Transportation for a license authorizing such person to engage in
business as a dealer.
(2) Applications
for the license must be made on forms prescribed, prepared and furnished by the
department.
(3) The
applications shall be accompanied by a duly acknowledged certificate
containing:
(a) The name
under which the dealer is transacting business within Oregon.
(b) The places of
business and location of distributing stations of the dealer in Oregon.
(c) The name and
address of the managing agent, the names and addresses of the several persons
constituting the firm or partnership and, if a corporation, the corporate name
under which it is authorized to transact business and the names and addresses
of its principal officers and registered agent.
(4) If the dealer
is an association of persons, firm, partnership or corporation organized under
the laws of another state, territory or country, if it has not already done so,
it must first comply with the laws of Oregon relating to the transaction of its
appropriate business in Oregon.
(5) The
application for a motor vehicle fuel dealers license having been accepted for
filing, and the bond required by ORS 319.050 having been accepted and approved,
the department may issue to the dealer a license in such form as the department
may prescribe to transact business as a dealer in the State of Oregon. The
license so issued is not assignable, and is valid only for the dealer in whose
name issued.
(6) The
department shall keep and file all applications and bonds with an alphabetical
index thereof, together with a record of all licensed dealers. [Amended by 1957
c.209 §2; 1999 c.769 §18]
