Rulemaking

Administrative rulemaking is the process by which administrative agencies create, amend, or repeal regulations. Rulemaking is a specific authority that the Oregon Legislature grants to an agency. When an agency is granted this authority, it can make administrative rules that have the full power of law. The Board of Parole is authorized to create rules under ORS 144.
