Proposed administrative rules:

None at this time

 

Recent rules - permanent rules not yet posted to Secretary of State Web site:
Mortgage lending - adopt 441-870-0080; amend 441-860-0010, 441-870-0030

Existing language in two rules concerning deceptive advertising practices would be moved to a new rule specifically about advertising. Additional deceptive advertising practices would be described in this new rule. Failure to disclose relationships with builders or realtors to borrowers would be a deceptive practice.

 

Temporary administrative rules:
Adopt OAR 441-505-3045, OAR 441-720-0385, OAR 441-730-0245, OAR 441-850-0040

These temporary rules implement section 20 of House Bill 3630 (2008). Section 20(1) of HB 3630 contains the content for a foreclosure notice that must be delivered to a homeowner. Section 20(2) of the bill requires the Department of Consumer and Business Services to adopt by rule contact information that the sender must provide in the foreclosure notice. The foreclosure notice form in statutes left spaces for a statewide contact telephone number, the telephone numbers and a website address for the Oregon State Bar's Lawyer Referral Service, and a website address for a directory of legal aid programs. These rules describe what contact information will be required on the foreclosure notice form.
