Grounds for cancellation of policies; notice required; applicability.
(1) A notice of cancellation of a
policy shall be effective only if it is based on one or more of the following
reasons:

premium.
(b) Fraud or
material misrepresentation affecting the policy or in the presentation of a
claim thereunder, or violation of any of the terms or conditions of the policy.
(c) The named
insured or any operator either resident in the same household or who
customarily operates an automobile insured under the policy has had driving
privileges suspended or revoked pursuant to law during the policy period, or,
if the policy is a renewal, during its policy period or the 180 days
immediately preceding its effective date. An insurer may not cancel a policy
for the reason that the driving privileges of the named insured or operator
were suspended pursuant to ORS 809.280 (6) or (8) if the suspension was based
on a nondriving offense.
(2) This section
shall not apply to any policy or coverage which has been in effect less than 60
days at the time notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered by the insurer
unless it is a renewal policy.
(3) This section
shall not apply to nonrenewal. [Formerly 743.905; 1991 c.860 §7a; 2011 c.355 §23]
