HSPR/SERV-OR Rulemaking Activates for Senate Bill 837:
Information related to rulemaking actions by the Health Security, Preparedness and Response Program can be accessed below, which also includes information on current Rule Advisory Committees (RACs). RACs are an important process that allow members of the public and communities to provide input and suggestions during the development of new rules or amendment of current rules.
A RAC was convened to provide input on proposed rules changes in response to Senate Bill 837. Click the link to listen to the the 
RAC Meeting Audio 10.31.25.m4a.
The RAC provided input and made suggestions on amending administrative rules, prior to giving notice of intent to amend administrative rules with the Secretary of State. The RAC will also provide input on potential fiscal and economic impact of the proposed rulemaking on affected persons, including potential adverse impact on small business. Additionally, the RAC will consider how the adoption of these rules will affect racial equity in Oregon. The RAC's role is advisory only and consensus is not necessary. In accordance with OHA policy, the HSPR program will consider the RAC's input for possible integration into the final rules. Here is a link to the rules being amended.
