This restriction is found in two statutes:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ORS 744.062(1)(i)<\/strong>: Lists the qualifications required for a title insurance producer license, including residency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ORS 744.063(6)<\/strong>: Reinforces the residency requirement.<br>Because of these laws, nonresidents cannot obtain a title insurance producer license in Oregon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legal Challenge to the Residency Requirement<\/strong><br>A <strong>nonresident applicant<\/strong> who was denied a title insurance producer license due to this requirement has filed a <strong>lawsuit<\/strong> claiming that the residency rule violates the <strong>Privileges and Immunities Clause<\/strong> of the <strong>U.S. Constitution<\/strong> (Article IV, Section 2). This clause is designed to prevent states from discriminating against out-of-state residents in ways that affect their ability to conduct business or seek employment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DCBS&#8217;s Position on the Lawsuit<\/strong><br>The <strong>Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS)<\/strong>, which regulates insurance producers, has <strong>agreed<\/strong> with the plaintiff and informed the court that it believes the <strong>residency requirement is unconstitutional<\/strong>.
