Permanent Rules Filing

At its October 23, 2026 Board meeting, the Board voted to make the permanent rule effective January 1, 2027.

The OBD has one proposed rule amendment being considered for rulemaking. The OHA has increased the fee for the Workforce Survey from $2 per license year to $4 per license year to allow enough revenue to cover program costs for database. The OBD has removed the fee that has been absorbed under the biennial license fee and added a separate line to accurately account for the $8 OHA Workforce Survey Fee. This will result in an increase of $4 per licensee when they renew their license on a biennial cycle.When the OBD engages in rulemaking, it includes on this page a statement of potential fiscal impact of the proposed rule; summary of the proposed rule; FAQ documents pertaining to the rulemaking; and meeting summaries or recordings from rulemaking meetings. Public comments will also be published on this page during the rulemaking process.
