- (1) A public adjuster license shall remain in effect unless revoked, terminated or suspended as long as a request for renewal is filed, the fee set forth in OAR 836-071-0130 and OAR 836-009-0007 is paid and any other requirements for license renewal are met by the due date.
- (2) The licensee shall inform the director by any means acceptable to the director of a change of address, change of legal name, or change of information submitted on the application within 30 days of the change.
- (3) A licensed public adjuster shall be subject to ORS 746.230, ORS 746.240 and other applicable law.
- (4) A public adjuster who allows his or her license to lapse may, within 12 months from the due date of the renewal, be issued a new public adjuster license upon the director’s receipt of the request for renewal. However, a penalty in the amount of double the unpaid renewal fee shall be required for the issue of the new public adjuster license. The new public adjuster license shall be effective the date the director receives the request for renewal and the late payment penalty.
- (5) Any public adjuster licensee that fails to apply for renewal of a license before expiration of the current license shall pay a lapsed license fee of twice the license fee and be subject to other penalties as provided by law before the license will be renewed. If the director receives the request for reinstatement and the required lapsed license fee within 365 days of the date the license lapsed, the director shall reinstate the license retroactively to the date the license lapsed. If the person applies for reinstatement more than 365 days from date of lapse, the person shall reapply for the license under this rule.
- (6) A licensed public adjuster that is unable to comply with license renewal procedures due to military service, a long-term medical disability, or some other extenuating circumstance, may request a waiver of those procedures. The public adjuster may also request a waiver of any examination requirement, fine, or other sanction imposed for failure to comply with renewal procedures.
