(2) For purposes of subsection (1) of this section, a person is not engaged in the private practice of a profession if the person is a full-time employee of a corporation other than a corporation incorporated under ORS chapter 58, the state, an agency or department thereof, a county, city, special district or any other public or municipal corporation or any instrumentality thereof. However, a person who practices a profession outside of the person’s full-time employment is engaged in the private practice of the profession. (3) For the purposes of subsection (1) of this section, the principal office of a person is considered to be the location where the person engages in the private practice of a profession more than 50 percent of the time engaged in that practice. In the case of a person in a branch office outside Oregon, if the main office to which the branch office is connected is in Oregon, the principal office of the person is not considered to be in Oregon unless the person engages in the private practice of a profession in Oregon more than 50 percent of the time engaged in that practice.

Any such fund shall be separate and distinct from the General Fund, and interest earned by the fund shall be credited to the fund. (2) The director may not make a determination to implement a professional liability fund if: (a) The lack of availability of insurance is due to legitimate insurance underwriting considerations, including past claims experience, licensing noncompliance or inadequate risk management; and (b) Actuarial studies show that private insurers are adequately setting rates for professional liability coverage, that a professional liability fund would not ultimately provide insureds lower premiums and that there is not an adequate number of potential insureds to fund a professional liability fund. (3) The director may contract for actuarial studies in order to make the determinations required by this section. [1987 c.774 §89; 1989 c.966 §68]
