Statute Text
(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 administrator’s 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.
