Statute Text
Renewal procedure; fee; penalty; rules; inactive status.
(1) An investigator who desires to
continue to practice in this state must apply for renewal and pay the renewal
fee as prescribed by rule of the Board on Public Safety Standards and Training
to the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training on or before the
renewal date of the license. Any person who fails to pay the renewal fee by the
renewal date may, within the following 30 days, pay the renewal fee plus a
penalty in an amount to be prescribed by board rule, not to exceed twice the
amount of the renewal fee. Any person who fails to pay the renewal fee, with
accrued penalties, for a period of 30 days after the renewal date forfeits the
right to work as an investigator in this state and may be reinstated only upon
compliance with the initial application procedures.
(2) Prior to
renewing a license, the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training may
request that the Department of State Police conduct criminal records checks as
provided in ORS 181A.195. Any act that is grounds for denying an initial
application for a license is grounds for refusing to renew a license.
(3) An
investigator may request the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training
to place the investigator on inactive status at any time during the licensing
period. Upon payment of the inactive license fee as prescribed by rule of the
board, the department shall place the investigator on inactive status. An
investigator on inactive status may not work as an investigator. [1997 c.870 §9;
