Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 671 § 671.220 — Board

Board action to enjoin violations; standing to bring action related to practice of architecture; person’s representation as member in or affiliate of professional or trade organization. (1) If the State Board of Architect Examiners determines that a person is engaging in or is about to engage in an activity that violates ORS 671.020 or 671.041, the board may bring an action to restrain the activity or proposed activity. An appropriate circuit court may issue an injunction without proof of actual damages, but the injunction does not relieve the defendant in the action from the imposition of a civil penalty for a violation of ORS 671.010 to 671.220. (2) A person may not bring or maintain an action related to the practice of architecture in a court of this state unless the person alleges and proves that at the time the person engaged in the practice of architecture, the person was a registered architect or was a foreign architect acting in compliance with ORS 671.020. An architectural firm may not bring or maintain an action related to the practice of architecture in a court of this state unless the architectural firm was a registered architectural firm at the time the architectural firm engaged in the practice of architecture. (3) ORS 671.010 to 671.220 do not prevent a person from representing the person’s membership in or affiliation with any bona fide professional or trade organization unless the person makes the representation to advance the person’s unlawful practice of architecture or unlawful attempt to engage in the practice of architecture.
