(1) In accordance with ORS 97.933(5), the Holder of a Certificate of Registration is responsible for the conduct of their preneed salespersons. Therefore, the Board may take disciplinary action against a licensee that is the Holder of the Certificate of Registration for the misconduct of their preneed salespersons. It is the responsibility of the Holder of the Certificate of Registration to insure that sound sales and business practices are used in the training and supervision of their preneed salespersons. (2) Upon complaint or upon its own motion, the Board may investigate any complaint concerning a preneed salesperson, a preneed salesperson applicant or an individual engaged in preneed sales activity without registration. For any of the causes described in ORS 692.180(1) or OAR 830-050-0050, or upon a determination that a registered preneed salesperson, applicant or unregistered individual has not complied with the provisions of ORS 97.923 to 97.949 or ORS Chapter 692 or any rules adopted thereunder, the Board may impose a civil penalty of up to $1000 per violation or suspend, revoke or refuse to issue or renew a registration.
