(b) $30,000, or such lesser sum as may be authorized by the commissioner pursuant to ORS 658.416 (Reduction of bond or deposit) and OAR 839-015-0230 (Procedure for Obtaining Reduction in the Amount of Bond or Deposit Required). The bond and any financial instrument shall be in the principal sum of the amount required by this rule. The amount of the bond or deposit must be continually maintained as long as the contractor is required to be licensed under ORS 658.405 (Definitions for ORS 658.405 to 658.511) to 658.475 (Injunctive relief and damages for violation of ORS 658.405 to 658.511).
(2) When a licensee or holder of a temporary permit employs more than the maximum number of employees covered by the bond or deposit in section (1)(a) of this rule, the licensee or permit holder shall immediately increase the amount of the bond or deposit to the amount required by section (1)(b) of this rule. The licensee or permit holder shall also immediately notify the License Unit of the Wage and Hour Division.

This bond or deposit shall be in the amount of $30,000 and in a form approved by and payable to the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries.
(4) A property services contractor is not required to file proof of financial ability under this section if:
(a) The property services contractor provides with any application for a labor contractor license and continually maintains thereafter proof of general liability insurance coverage in the amount of $1,000,000; and
(b) The commissioner finds that the property services contractor, within the preceding two years, has not violated ORS chapter 652 or 653 or committed an unlawful employment practice under ORS chapter 659A or the rules thereunder.
(5) When an applicant for a license has been required to satisfy a court-ordered judgment or a final order issued by a governmental agency, the commissioner or the commissioner’s designee may require the applicant to provide a bond or deposit of up to three times the amount required by section (1) of this rule as a condition of licensure. In such case, the commissioner or commissioner’s designee will determine the actual amount of the bond or deposit by considering the following factors:
(a) The amount of the judgment or order that was satisfied;
(b) The magnitude and seriousness of the violation or violations which lead to the judgment or order;
(c) The past history of the applicant in taking all necessary measures to prevent or correct violations of statutes or rules;
(d) Prior violations, if any, of statutes or rules;
(e) Other matters which indicate to the commissioner or commissioner’s designee whether or not the applicant is likely to violate ORS 658.415 (Application for license)(3) in the future.
