OAR 441-175-0150
Termination or Cancellation of Salesperson or Investment Adviser Representative License
(1)
A salesperson’s or investment adviser representative’s license with a broker-dealer, state or federal covered investment adviser, issuer or owner, (“employer”), may be terminated at any time by either the salesperson or investment adviser representative, or the employer.(2)
The employer shall provide the director and the terminated person with written notice of the termination on a Form U-5 within 30 days of the termination, accurately describing the reason for the termination under ORS 59.370 (Limitation on liability for good faith act or omission)(2). The notice shall be filed as follows:(a)
If the employer is a FINRA broker-dealer, the notice shall be filed with the CRD;(b)
If the employer is a state or federal covered investment adviser and the investment adviser representative’s application was filed through IARD, the notice shall be filed with IARD;(c)
All other employers shall file the notice with the director.(3)
The salesperson or investment adviser representative may provide the director and the former employer with written notice of the termination in any form at any time.(4)
The status of the license of a salesperson or investment adviser representative licensed under OAR chapter 441, division 175 is dependent upon the status of the employer. Therefore, without further action by the director:(a)
The suspension of the license or notice of the employer suspends the license of the salesperson or investment adviser representative, however, the end of suspension of the license or notice of the employer automatically reinstates the license of the salesperson or investment adviser representative;(b)
The revocation, cancellation, withdrawal or expiration of the license or notice of the employer cancels the license of the salesperson or investment adviser representative;(c)
The suspension of the registration of securities suspends the license of the salesperson licensed to the issuer or owner of the securities; and(d)
The revocation, cancellation, withdrawal or expiration of the registration of securities cancels the license of the salesperson licensed to the issuer or owner of the securities.(5)
Under OAR 441-014-0060, the director may immediately suspend or refuse to renew a salesperson or investment adviser representative license, without prior opportunity for a hearing, upon a showing of a danger to the public health or safety; however, the affected party shall be entitled to a post-action hearing.
