OAR 274-006-0001: Purpose

These rules provide for the Department of Veterans' Affairs (Department) acquisition of information about a subject individual's criminal history through criminal records checks and its use of that information to determine whether the individual is fit to provide services to the Department as an employee, volunteer, contractor or vendor. The fact that the Department determines that an individual is fit does not guarantee the individual a position as a Department employee, volunteer, contractor or vendor or that the individual will be hired by the Department.
