Except as authorized by the federal Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (P.L. 106-102), an insurer may not engage in any business except the making of insurance or a kind of business related to the insurance business. However, a foreign or alien insurer may engage, outside this state, in any business permitted by its articles of incorporation and the laws of the state of its domicile; and a title insurer also may engage in business as an escrow agent; provided, however, that a title insurer engaging in business as an escrow agent shall be subject to the provisions of ORS 696.505 to 696.590 in respect to its escrow activities. [1967 c.359 §97; 1971 c.398 §5; 1977 c.351 §13; 2001 c.377 §57]
