OAR Chapter 950 Equity & Inclusion Division

Rulemaking News and Updates


Rulemaking Centralization Project

The Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) for programs managed or governed by the Equity & Inclusion Division have been renumbered. The Equity & Inclusion Division rules were previously housed in multiple administrative rule chapters throughout Oregon Health Authority rule chapters. The update brings all Equity & Inclusion rules into alignment under one administrative rule chapter (OAR Chapter 950).

No changes will be made to the rule text during the moves.
