HB 2665 Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Development for Calendar Year 2025
Aug. 26, 2024 – Sept. 10, 2024
Rules Advisory Committees (RACs)
On September 10th, the program team completed our last Rules Advisory Committee meeting. We scheduled committee meetings with three separate groups of impacted parties in order to elevate equity and provide an opportunity for all voices to be heard. These groups were: Temporary Staffing Agencies, Hospitals and Facilities (including associated organizations), and impacted Workforce members. We invited impacted parties to both an initial committee meeting/session to review and give input, and a second follow-up meeting to review incorporated feedback. We also offered feedback options in writing following the initial committee meetings as an additional option for providing feedback.
