HLO News Details

​The Health Licensing Office (HLO) is seeking interested parties to participate in a rules advisory committee (RAC) meeting for the Temporary Staffing Agency (TSA) Program. The videoconference meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 14, 2023, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. via Microsoft Teams (MS Teams). The TSA Program was created by Senate Bill 1549 (2022), and directs the HLO to issue authorizations and provide administrative and regulatory oversight for temporary staffing agencies operating in Oregon. 

The purpose of the RAC meeting is to gather feedback on draft administrative rule language. RAC members will receive the draft administrative rule language prior to the meeting. HLO staff will facilitate a section-by-section review of the language. Feedback from RAC members and public comments will be recorded and summarized in a report to the Office. No decisions will be made during the RAC, and no votes will be taken; concensus will not be a goal nor a requirement. 

The HLO is encouraging external experts, individuals, entities, advocates, and communities likely to be affected by the administrative rules to provide input and recommendations to the HLO during the rulemaking process. 

To apply to be on the RAC, fill out the Application to Serve on Rules Advisory Committee and send it to anne.p.thompson@oha.oregon.gov, or to the address listed on the top of the form. To be considered, applications must be received by 9 a.m. on Tuesday, March 7, 2023. For more information, call (503) 509-4775.
