About the Committee
Rules Advisory Committee (RAC) meetings are an opportunity for external experts, businesses and other
stakeholders to give input to OHA about proposed rulemaking. RAC members have
the opportunity to review and comment on proposed rules and Oregon State Hospital's
Statement of Need and Fiscal Impact. The RAC’s role is advisory and consensus
is not necessary.
RAC meetings are
public meetings and any individual is welcome to attend, observe and listen. However,
only those specifically invited to be a member of the committee may participate
fully in the meeting. RAC meetings may include time for the public to provide
comment.
After the RAC meeting ends, Oregon State Hospital (OSH) will discuss and thoughtfully consider all suggestions and concerns expressed by RAC members and the public. Then OSH will finalize the proposed
text and submit a notice of rulemaking or notice of hearing to the Secretary of
State. The public will have the opportunity to review and comment on the
proposed rules as required by statute. Comments received during this period may
affect the final text of the rule.
