Oregon Health Licensing Agency
The Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) was established by the 70th Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1999 as a state consumer protection agency overseeing regulation of multiple health and related professions.  It is unique among Oregon’s regulatory agencies in that it oversees multiple professions under a central agency administration.

Regulated professions are represented by volunteer citizen boards and councils, which provide profession-specific expertise and consultation but are not responsible for central agency operations.  For an overview of regulated professions, click here.
