Agency Announcements:

  • OMCB Education and Compliance Manager Pete Burns is leaving our agency and will become the Executive Director of the Oregon Veterinary Medical Examining Board beginning on Wednesday, February 1st.

    Here is his parting message: After three and a half years, I will be stepping aside as OMCB's Education & Compliance Program Manager. I will be moving on to serve as the Executive Director for the Oregon Veterinary Medical Examining Board. It has indeed been a privilege to work with OMCB staff, the Board and our dedicated licensees. While this is an exciting new opportunity, it is difficult to move on from OMCB, a vital and dynamic agency. I truly honor our mission to serve Oregonians while supporting this indispensable industry. I would like to thank all industry stakeholders I have had the opportunity to work with over the years. I value the partnership we have developed. 

    The job opening for the Education & Compliance Program Manager has been posted and can be accessed using this link:

  • The Board has established an advisory committee for the purpose of reviewing and possibly modifying/updating the current ten-day hold notification requirement (OAR 830-030-0010): All human remains must undergo final disposition within ten days after a licensed funeral establishment takes possession of the remains. If human remains are going to be kept longer than a ten-day period due to exigent circumstances, it is the responsibility of the licensee responsible for those human remains to notify the Board's office.
    • If you would like to provide input to the advisory committee, please email Pete Burns, our Education & Compliance Program Manager Pete.Burns@omcb.oregon.gov.
