Rulemaking Process  

The purpose of a Rulemaking Hearing is an opportunity for interested parties to provide oral testimony or submit written comments on rules proposed by the Oregon Board of Pharmacy, it is not a board meeting. The public may provide oral testimony during the hearing or submit written comments to pharmacy.rulemaking@bop.oregon.gov during the public comment period on the specific rules noticed for rulemaking. 

Please review the proposed rulemaking notices for the date and time of the hearing (typically 9:30AM), link to join virtually, phone number and conference ID# to listen to the hearing, public comment period, and special instructions which includes directions on how to sign up to provide oral testimony and where to submit written comments.  

When the public comment period ends, a rulemaking hearing report is presented to the board for their consideration at the next regularly scheduled board meeting and includes a summary of oral testimony received during the hearing (if applicable) as well as all written comments received.
