ORS 94.968 Denial, suspension and revocation of registration; other sanctions

The Real Estate Commissioner may order that a registration of an offer or sale of membership camping contracts be denied, suspended or revoked if the commissioner makes findings pursuant to ORS 183.430 that any of the following is true:

The membership camping operator has failed to comply with any provisions of ORS 94.953 to 94.989 which materially affect the rights of purchasers or prospective purchasers of membership camping contracts.

The membership camping operator is representing to purchasers in connection with the offer or sale of a membership camping contract that any campground or facilities are planned without reasonable grounds to believe that the campground or facilities will be completed within a reasonable time.

The membership camping operator’s offering of membership camping contracts works a fraud on purchasers or owners of membership camping contracts.

Proceedings for suspending, revoking or denying a registration shall be governed by ORS chapter 183.

If the commissioner finds that immediate suspension of a registration is necessary to protect purchasers or owners from fraud, the commissioner may order any person subject to ORS 94.953 to 94.989 to desist from such conduct and may suspend the registration immediately. Affected persons shall be entitled to a hearing as in the case of license suspension under ORS 183.430.

If the commissioner finds that a membership camping operator or other person is violating any of the provisions of ORS 94.953 to 94.989, the commissioner may order the person to desist and refrain from violating the provisions and from the further offering and sale of membership camping contracts.

If the commissioner finds that a membership camping operator or other person is violating, has violated or is about to violate, any of the provisions of ORS 94.953 to 94.989, the commissioner may bring an action in the circuit court of the county where the violation or threatened violation has occurred or is about to occur, or in the county where the person resides or carries on business, in the name of and on behalf of the people of the State of Oregon against the person participating in the violation, to enjoin the person from continuing or engaging in the violation or doing any act in furtherance of the violation, and to apply for the appointment of a receiver or conservator of the assets of the defendant if appropriate.
