Seeking Public Comment on Proposed Rule - Compliance with Governors' Executive Orders and Guidance The Health Licensing Office (HLO) has filed a proposed administrative rule with the Oregon Secretary of State, which has been published in the October 2020 Oregon Bulletin. The rule clarifies during an emergency declared by the Governor of Oregon, that it is unprofessional conduct to and the potential consequences of, an authorization holder failing to comply with an Executive Order issued by the Governor or the Oregon Administrative Rules overseeing their profession. The proposed language is similar to the temporary rule 331-020-0078, that took effect on May 15, 2020, with additional clarification and a different rule number.
