Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) determine how the Board of Accountancy and other state agencies operate, including how they
interpret and implement state laws. Administrative rules can also
describe agency practices and policies.
Rules may be adopted,
amended, repealed, suspended, or renumbered through a process known as
rulemaking. Our rulemaking process offers several opportunities for
people and organizations to provide feedback on a proposed rule:
- A Rulemaking Advisory Committee (RAC) representing those who may have an interest in the rule helps shape rule language
- Tribal governments are invited to be involved with rulemaking that may affect Tribal members or resources of interest
- Oregonians are invited to weigh in on the rule and
may attend RAC meetings, provide written comments, or testify during a public hearing
