- 701.068. (1) An applicant for issuance or renewal of a contractor license shall file with the Construction Contractors Board a surety bond with one or more corporate sureties authorized to do business in this state in the amount set forth in ORS 701.081 or 701.084. (2) If an applicant for issuance, renewal or an additional endorsement of a license will hold endorsements as both a residential contractor and a commercial contractor, the applicant shall file with the board a surety bond for each endorsement in the amount set forth in ORS 701.081 or 701.084. (3) The surety bond for a residential contractor must provide that the applicant, with regard to work subject to this chapter, will pay amounts ordered paid by the board under ORS 701.145. The surety bond for a commercial contractor must provide that the applicant, with regard to work subject to this chapter, will pay amounts ordered paid by the board under ORS 701.146. Bonds filed under this section shall remain in effect for at least one year or until depleted by payments under ORS 701.150, 701.153 and 701.157, unless the surety sooner cancels the bond. At the discretion of the surety the bond may be continued for an additional period by continuation certificate. Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, the aggregate liability of the surety under the bond for complaints against the contractor may not exceed the penal sum of the bond no matter how many years the bond is in force. Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, an extension by continuation certificate, reinstatement, reissue or renewal of the bond may not increase the liability of the surety. (4) The board, by rule, may require a licensee to obtain a new surety bond if, pursuant to a board order for payment of a complaint described in ORS 701.140, the surety pays an amount out of the bond of the licensee. The new surety bond must be in the applicable amount set forth in ORS 701.081 or 701.084 unless a higher amount is required by a board condition or rule described in subsection (5) or (6) of this section. The board may allow a licensee to obtain, instead of a new bond, a certification that the surety remains liable for the full penal sum of the bond, notwithstanding payment by the surety on the complaint. (5) If the amount the licensee must pay against the bond under subsection (3) of this section exceeds the amount of the bond, the board shall suspend the contractor s license until the amount owed is paid. The board, as a condition of ending the suspension, may require a contractor requesting reinstatement of a license to file a bond of an amount up to five times as much as the amount required ordinarily of a licensee under ORS 701.081 or 701.084. (6) The board by rule may establish conditions for applicants or persons licensed under this chapter under which the applicant or licensee must file a bond of an amount up to five times as much as the amount required ordinarily of an applicant or licensee under ORS 701.081 or 701.084. The board may reduce the amount of bond it would otherwise require if the contractor demonstrates satisfactory completion of approved elective classes on dispute resolution and prevention, basic accounting and record keeping or such other classes as the board may prescribe. (7) The bond required under this section is for the exclusive purpose of payment of final orders and arbitration awards of the board in accordance with this chapter. (8) Upon determination under ORS 701.145 or 701.146 of a complaint against a contractor who holds a bond required under this section, the board shall notify the surety on the bond of the final order in a manner determined by the board by rule. The notification shall include a list of all complaints upon which a final order has been issued. (9) A court action may not be commenced against a surety on a bond required under this section until 30 days after the date that the surety is notified by the board under ORS 701.150 that payment is due on the final order. (10) In any action against a surety on a bond under this section that is based on the failure of the surety to pay a final order, the court may award: (a) Costs; (b) Reasonable attorney fees to the prevailing party as part of the costs; and (c) Twice the amount of any damages that the board ordered the surety to pay on the complaint, if the surety arbitrarily and capriciously refused to pay upon order of the board.

Delivery to the board and the surety must be accomplished by certified mail, return receipt requested, no later than the earlier of: (a) The 90th day after filing the court action or after filing or making the arbitration demand or other initiation of arbitration; (b) The 14th day before the first day of trial or arbitration; or (c) The 30th day before: (A) The court issues a judgment in the action; or (B) The arbitrator issues an award on the arbitration.

(4) Except as provided in this subsection and subsection (7) of this section, if the complainant properly gives notice to the surety under subsection (2) of this section, a judgment or award against the contractor entered in the action or arbitration is binding on the surety. If the complainant delivers the notice required under subsection (2) of this section to the wrong surety, the surety receiving the notice may avoid being bound by a judgment or award by delivering notice of the mistake to the complainant or the complainant s attorney of record, and to the board, on or before the 30th day after the surety receives notice under subsection (2) of this section. Delivery of the notice of mistake must be by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by facsimile machine or other form of transmission with an acknowledgment of receipt. (5) A surety under subsection (2) of this section has an absolute right to intervene in an action or arbitration brought or initiated under subsection (1) of this section. A complainant may not join a surety as a party to an action or arbitration unless the complainant disputes the validity or timeliness of the surety s notice of mistake or the surety disputes the validity or timeliness of the delivery to the surety of the notice required by subsection (2) of this section. If the surety elects to intervene or is joined as a party, the surety is bound by all issues of fact and law determined by the court or arbitrator and may not seek board review of those determinations. (6) If a court issues a judgment on an action, or reduces an arbitration award to judgment, against a contractor on a complaint described in subsection (1) of this section, the complainant must deliver a certified copy of the judgment to the board and to the surety no later than the 30th day after entry of the judgment in order to maintain the complaint and possibly receive payment from the bond. The entry of a final judgment against the contractor concludes the contractor s involvement in any proceedings to determine whether the complaint is subject to payment from the bond. The complainant and the surety are the only parties to the administrative process set forth in subsection (7) of this section. (7) Upon receipt of a timely delivered certified copy of the judgment as described in subsection (6) of this section, the board shall issue a proposed order in the amount of the judgment together with any costs, interest and attorney fees awarded under the judgment, to the extent that the judgment, costs, interest and fees are within the jurisdiction of the board. The board s determination of the complaint is limited to whether the complaint comes within the jurisdiction of the board and is subject to payment by the surety. The board shall issue the proposed order in a form that indicates the surety s maximum liability to the complainant. If a hearing is not requested within the time set forth in the proposed order, the proposed order becomes final without any further action by the board. If a hearing is requested, unless review of an issue is precluded under subsection (5) of this section, the board may determine: (a) Whether the complaint was timely filed with the board as provided in ORS 701.143. (b) Whether the surety received timely notice as provided in subsections (2) and (6) of this section. (c) Whether the complaint is for work subject to this chapter. (d) The extent of the surety s liability to the complainant.
