Or. Admin. Code § 441-730-0027 - State Criminal Records Check

(1) A consumer finance company that makes or offers to make residential mortgage loans must conduct a state criminal records check of an employee prior to the person originating residential mortgage loans.

(a) The consumer finance company must search state records of all states where the individual has resided in the past 10 years using the person's full legal name, date of birth, place of birth, and Social Security number.

(b) The consumer finance company must use the services of law enforcement agencies or an independent private company that complies with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act to conduct the state criminal records check.

(2) If the state criminal records check discloses a disqualifying conviction under ORS 86A.212, an applicant for a mortgage loan originator license may not be employed and a currently employed mortgage loan originator must cease making residential mortgage loans immediately.

(3) The consumer finance company must maintain state criminal records check documents in a secure location and must make these available to the director for examination at any reasonable time or times and may require, without subpoena, the production of such records at the office of the director as often as is reasonably necessary. The consumer finance company must preserve these records for three years after they terminate the employment of the mortgage loan originator. After the retention period, the consumer finance company must destroy these files in a secure manner.

(4) This rule applies to employees of consumer finance companies hired or employed on or after August 1, 2010.
