(2) Except as provided in ORS 319.051, 319.052 and 319.053, a bond under subsection (1) of this section shall be in an amount that is equivalent to twice the dealer’s estimated monthly license tax, as determined by the department, or $250,000, whichever is less.
(3) The department may reduce or increase the required amount for a bond as provided in ORS 319.051 and 319.052.
(4) A bond given in connection with ORS 319.010 to 319.430 is a continuing instrument and covers any and all periods of time including the first and all subsequent periods for which a license may be granted in consequence of the giving of the bond. The liability of the surety on the bond for the aggregate of all claims that arise under the bond may not exceed the amount of the penalty of the bond. No recoveries on any bond or any execution of any new bond may invalidate any bond, but the total recoveries under any one bond may not exceed the amount of the bond.
(5) A dealer required under this section to obtain a bond may demand by proper petition a hearing on the necessity of the bond or the reasonableness of the amount required. The department shall grant the petition for a hearing and shall hold the hearing within 10 days after the demand for the hearing. The decision of the department becomes final 10 days after service of the order on the dealer. The hearing is not subject to the requirements of ORS 183.413 to 183.470.
