Analysis

In Oregon, a person engages in an unlawful practice if in the course of the person’s business, vocation or occupation the person “engages in the business of, or acts in the capacity of, an immigration consultant, as defined in ORS 9.280, in this state and for compensation, unless federal law authorizes the person to do so or unless the person is an active member of the Oregon State Bar” (ORS 646.608(1)(uuu) as renumbered by House Bill 2531).

This newly renumbered provision pops up in Oregon’s Notary Statutes in Sections 194.315 and 194.340. In the former, an applicant for a Notary commission must not have been found by a court to have engaged in the activity described in ORS 646.608(1)(uuu) or entered into an assurance of voluntary compliance, pursuant to ORS 646.632, based on an alleged violation of ORS 646.608(1)(uuu). In the latter, the Secretary of State may deny, revoke, suspend, or impose a condition on a commission as a Notary Public for engaging in this activity or entering into an assurance of voluntary compliance, pursuant to ORS 646.632, based on an alleged violation of ORS 646.608(1)(uuu).

House Bill 2531 simply makes a pointer reference change to the newly renumbered provision in these sections.
