(2) or discovered by a board investigation under ORS 701.225.
(3) The board may
assess a civil penalty against any person as provided in ORS 701.992 if the
board determines after notice and opportunity for hearing that the person
violated ORS 701.021.
(4)(a) The
administrator of the board, in accordance with administrative rules adopted by
the board and after setting forth specific reasons for the findings, may
suspend or refuse to renew a license without hearing in any case where the
administrator finds a serious danger to the public welfare, including but not
limited to:
(A) Lack of a
surety bond required by ORS 701.068;
(B) Lack of
liability insurance required by ORS 701.073;
(C) Hiring
employees while classed as exempt under ORS 701.035;
(D) Entering into
a PEO relationship while classed as exempt under ORS 701.035;
(E) Conduct as a
construction contractor that is dishonest or fraudulent;
(F) Failure to
pay a construction debt; or
(G) Entering into
a settlement agreement under ORS 701.145 and failing to comply with the terms
of the settlement agreement.
(b) If the
licensee or applicant demands a hearing within 90 days after the date of notice
to the licensee or applicant of the suspension or refusal to renew, then a
hearing must be granted to the licensee or applicant as soon as practicable
after the demand, and the administrator shall issue, pursuant to the hearing as
required by ORS chapter 183, an order confirming, altering or revoking the
administrators earlier order. Notwithstanding ORS 670.325, a hearing need not
be held where the order of suspension or refusal to renew is accompanied by or
is pursuant to a citation for violation that is subject to judicial
determination in any court of this state, and the order by its terms will
terminate in case of final judgment in favor of the licensee or applicant.
(5)(a) In
addition to all other remedies, if the board has reason to believe that a
person is engaging in an act, practice or transaction that violates this
chapter or a board rule, the board may issue an order directing the person to
cease the act or to take corrective action.
(b) The board
shall mail a copy of an order issued under this subsection to the person by
first class mail with certificate of mailing. The board shall include with the
order a notice informing the person of the right to request a hearing
concerning the order. The notice shall inform the person that any hearing
request must be received by the board no later than 21 days after the date the
order was mailed by the board.
(c) If the board
receives a timely request for a hearing concerning an order issued under this
subsection, the board shall schedule the hearing no later than 30 days after
receiving the request. The board shall mail written notice of the hearing to
the person by first class mail with certificate of mailing no later than seven
days before the scheduled hearing date.
(d) An order
described in this subsection becomes final if the person does not file a timely
request for a hearing concerning the order or fails to appear at the requested
hearing as scheduled.
(e) The issuance
of a board order under this subsection is subject to ORS 183.413 to 183.497.
(6) In addition
to all other remedies, if the board determines that a person has engaged in, or
is engaging in, any act, practice or transaction that violates the provisions
of this chapter, the board may direct the Attorney General or the district
attorney of the county in which the act, practice or transaction occurs, to
apply to the court for an injunction restraining the person from violating the
provisions of this chapter. An injunction may not issue for failure to maintain
the list provided for in ORS 701.345, unless the court determines that the
failure is intentional.
(7) A certified
copy of the record of conviction is conclusive evidence of a conviction under
subsection (1)(L) of this section.
(8) If the board
suspends or revokes the license of an individual contractor or contractor
business for a violation of subsection (1)(k) of this section, the board may
not restore or reissue the license unless the individual contractor or a
responsible managing individual for the contractor business has successfully
completed the training and testing described in ORS 701.122.
