The Board of Accountancy will begin the rulemaking
process on June 4 with an anticipated rule exposure date of July 1,
2026.
The public comments period for the newly exposed rules will begin
on July 1, 2026 and end at 9 a.m. on September 24, 2026; the same day as
the Board's September Board meeting.

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amended, repealed, suspended, or renumbered through a process known as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
- Oregonians are invited to weigh in on the rule and
may attend RAC meetings, provide written comments, or testify during a public hearing
