All Oregon Surplus Lines Association, approved surplus lines carriers, and qualified surplus lines producers,

The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR) proposes to issue a bulletin regarding an Affordable Housing Commercial Property and Liability Insurance Export List — Oregon SB 829 (2025).

Purpose

This bulletin provides guidance to surplus lines insurers, qualified surplus lines producers, and retail producers by identifying commercial insurance coverages generally unavailable in Oregon’s admitted market for risks associated with affordable housing, and allows coverage placement of the commercial coverages noted in this bulletin via surplus lines carriers without producers placing coverage on behalf of affordable housing entities first needing to perform a diligent search.

All Oregon State Investment Advisers and Investment Adviser Representatives,

The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR) proposes to issue a bulletin stating that state investment advisers may not charge a fee solely for availability.

Purpose

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide guidance to Oregon State Investment Advisers (Advisers) and their Investment Adviser Representatives (Representatives) regarding what constitutes an “unreasonable advisory fee” under Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 441-205-0145. Specifically, the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation considers fees charged solely to guarantee an Adviser or their Representative’s availability, but which are unrelated to any rendered advisory services, to be unreasonable.
