Oregon law (ORS 676.175) requires that information provided to the Board be kept confidential. The information gathered during the investigation will not be disclosed or available for uses outside the Board. The confidentiality requirement means that the specifics of the investigation cannot be shared with anyone, including the complainant. The only information available to non-Board personnel is the final resolution of the case (i.e. whether or not a violation occurred). If a violation is found and the case is settled with an order by the Board, the order would be public information and available for anyone requesting a copy of the order. There is a $10.00 fee for the order.
Persons who file a complaint or provide information during an investigation and do so in good faith are protected and cannot be sued because they provided information (ORS 677.335 & 677.425).
