(1) Applicants for registration as a preneed salesperson must apply on the most current form provided by the Board, pay the preneed salesperson fees set forth in OAR 830-020-0040 and submit to a background investigation. The background investigation may include, but is not limited to, information solicited from the Department of State Police, Law Enforcement Data System, Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles, other government agencies including local law enforcement agencies, the courts and prior employers. (2) A certificate of registration will be issued to an approved preneed salesperson applicant. An applicant may not make preneed sales or engage in preneed sales activity, including, but not limited to, marketing and participating in sales presentations, other than as an observer, until a certificate of registration has been issued to the applicant by the Board. It is the responsibility of the salesperson to provide written notice to the Board of any address changes within 30 days of the change. (3) All preneed salesperson certificates of registration will expire on March 1 in even-numbered years unless renewed as provided in this section. (4) On or before December 31 of each odd numbered year, the Board will mail to each registered preneed salesperson a form containing notice that the renewal fee is due and payable. The renewal form will be mailed to the most current address filed with the Board by the preneed salesperson. If the renewal form is not returned and the renewal fee is not paid by the renewal date the certificate of registration will lapse. (5) Upon lapse of a preneed salesperson certificate of registration, the Board will send notice of the lapse by registered or certified mail to the most current address filed with the Board by the preneed salesperson. (6) The Board may reinstate a certificate of registration if the preneed salesperson applies for reinstatement on a form provided by the Board not later than the 90th day after the lapse and pays the renewal fee as well as the reinstatement fee established in OAR 830-020-0040. (7) The Board will not issue or renew the registration for a preneed salesperson that owes outstanding civil penalties to the Board.
