(1) A person that employs a mortgage loan originator shall file with the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services a corporate surety bond that runs to the State of Oregon and that covers each mortgage loan originator the person employs. The corporate surety bond must be issued by a corporate surety or an insured institution, as defined in ORS 706.008, that is authorized to transact business in this state.

(2) The director by rule shall:

(a) Prescribe the form of the corporate surety bond;

(c) Prescribe other requirements for the corporate surety bond as are necessary to accomplish the purposes of ORS 86A.200 to 86A.239.

(3) A right of action against the corporate surety bond required under this section exists to the same extent that a right of action exists under ORS 86A.151.

(4) The director may require the person to file a new corporate surety bond if an action is commenced against the corporate surety bond on file with the director. The person shall file a new corporate surety bond immediately if a recovery is obtained against the bond.
