and Quality Improvement program is proposing to permanently amend and repeal
Oregon Administrative Rules in chapters 333, divisions 027, 071, 072, 076, 500,
505, 515 and 700 due to new federal guidance on tuberculosis (TB) screening, revised
federal emergency preparedness requirements for hospitals, passage of SB 127 (Oregon
Laws 2019, chapter 233) relating to nurse midwife terminology, and SB 64
(Oregon Laws 2019, chapter 358) which
updates certified nurse practitioner terms to reflect licensed nurse
practitioner.
