RAC (Rules Advisory Committee)
The Oregon Board of Pharmacy may utilize rules advisory committees (RACs) when developing or amending Oregon Administrative Rules. RACs offer excellent opportunities for the public and stakeholders to provide input and suggestions during the development of new rules, amendment or repeal of existing rules, and the fiscal impact associated with proposed rulemaking.
Current RAC Opportunities
The Board is currently recruiting volunteers to participate in an upcoming RAC related to updating rules for pharmacy continuing education. We are seeking input from a small group of individuals that can assist in the following:
- Provide the Board with insights for rule development; and
- Provide assistance in developing a realistic fiscal impact
The board anticipates there will be two Rules Advisory Committee meetings scheduled between Mid‐May (tentatively scheduled for a virtual meeting on May 20, 2021 1-4pm) and sometime in Mid‐September 2021. The preliminary target for possible rule amendments to be permanently adopted is January 1, 2022. To meet this target the RACs work must be completed and a final draft sent to the board’s Rules Coordinator by October 1, 2021.
If you are interested in volunteering for this committee, complete the OBOP Rules Advisory Committee Form below by Thursday, April 15, 2021. **Those that are selected will receive confirmation by April 22, 2021.
