Section 735-152-0050 - Sanctions

(1) In addition to any other penalties provided by law, DMV may impose sanctions against any person issued a valid dismantler certificate, any principal of a dismantler business, or both, if DMV determines either has violated any Oregon law or DMV rule relating to the operation of a dismantler business.

(2) Sanctions may be imposed against one or more of the following:

(a) A dismantler's certificate issued under ORS 822.110;

(b) An identification card or supplemental dismantler certificate issued under ORS 822.125; or

(c) A principal of the dismantler business.

(3) Factors DMV may consider when imposing a sanction against a dismantler include:

(a) The severity of the violation or its impact on the public;

(b) The number of similar or related violations;

(c) Whether a violation was willful or intentional; and

(d) Any previous sanction, civil penalty or warning issued or imposed against the dismantler or principal.

(4) DMV determines the appropriate sanction to impose when it determines a violation has occurred. These may include one or more of the following:

(a) Verbal or written warning, including a correction notice.

(b) Probation under conditions set by DMV, for up to three years.

(c) Suspension of the dismantler certificate and the right to apply for a dismantler certificate, for up to three years.

(d) Revocation of the dismantler certificate and the right to apply for a dismantler certificate. A person subject to revocation of a dismantler certificate is ineligible to apply for a new dismantler certificate, for up to five years.

(e) Suspension of the right of a principal of a dismantler business to apply for a dismantler certificate for a different vehicle-related business, or in a different business name, for up to three years.

(f) Revocation of the right of a principal of a dismantler business to apply for a dismantler certificate for a different vehicle-related business, including a vehicle-related business with a different business name, for up to five years.

(g) Cancellation of the dismantler certificate if it is determined the applicant or a principal of the business is ineligible for a dismantler certificate.

(h) Immediate suspension or cancellation as provided in ORS 822.145(2) upon receipt of legal notice the dismantler's bond under 822.120 is canceled.

(i) Immediate suspension or cancellation for failure to pay any penalty imposed under ORS 822.135 or 822.137.

(5) A dismantler or principal whose business certificate or privileges are suspended, canceled or revoked is entitled to a contested case hearing as provided in the Oregon Administrative Procedures Act under ORS Chapter 183.

(6) Except as provided in section (7) of this rule, a dismantler's request for a hearing shall be submitted in writing to and received by DMV within 20 days of the date of the notice of revocation, suspension or cancellation. A hearing request received in a timely manner shall result in a withdrawal of the revocation suspension or cancellation pending the outcome of the hearing.

(7) In the instance of an immediate suspension or cancellation as provided by subsection (4)(g) or (h) of this rule, a dismantler's request for a hearing shall be submitted in writing to and received by DMV within 90 days of the date the notice is issued. A hearing request received in a timely manner shall not result in a withdrawal of the suspension or cancellation pending the outcome of the hearing.

(8) In order for a request for hearing to be timely, the request must be received by DMV within the time periods established in sections (6) and (7) of this rule. If the request for hearing is not timely received, the person waives their right to a hearing, except as provided in OAR 137-003-0528. The time periods will be computed as set forth in 137-003-0520(8).

(9) When DMV does not receive a timely request for a hearing, the dismantler or principal defaults, waives the right to a hearing and DMV's file constitutes the record of the case.
