Bill > HB3588

This bill modifies several Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) related to business registrations, specifically addressing requirements for business addresses and verification processes. The key provisions involve allowing the Secretary of State to verify that business entities' principal office, records office, and registered agent addresses are physical street addresses, rather than mail forwarding services, virtual offices, or commercial mail receiving agencies. However, the bill now permits a commercial mail receiving agency to be considered a valid principal office or records office if its physical street address matches the business's principal executive offices. Additionally, the bill provides a mechanism for businesses to request that their physical street address be protected from public disclosure under certain circumstances. The changes apply to various types of business entities including corporations, limited liability companies, and limited partnerships. The bill is declared an emergency measure, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the stated purpose of preserving public peace, health, and safety by ensuring more accurate and verifiable business registration information.
