(1) This section shall not apply to any issuer of a federal covered security, a federal covered investment adviser or to ORS 59.205 (1).

(2) The director may not enter an order against a broker-dealer or state investment adviser on the basis of the lack of qualification under ORS 59.205 (5) of any person other than:

(a) The broker-dealer or state investment adviser if the broker-dealer or state investment adviser is an individual; or

(b) A salesperson of the broker-dealer or investment adviser representative of the state investment adviser.
