(1) As used in this section, landowner means any person that has a substantial ownership interest in real property. (2) A landowner who, at the time of the farmworker camps operation, knows or should have known that the landowners property is being used as the site of a farmworker camp shall be jointly and severally liable with the person acting as the farmworker camp operator to the same extent and in the same manner as provided in ORS 658.805 (3) and (4). (3) There is a rebuttable presumption that a landowner did not know and could not reasonably have known of the operation of an unregistered farmworker camp on the landowners property if the landowner produces a written lease agreement or a copy thereof that expressly prohibits the operation of an unregistered farmworker camp on the property by the lessee or any other person. The presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence that the landowner knew or should have known of the operation of the farmworker camp. (Miscellaneous)
