OAR 291-006-0055: Discrimination Complaint and Discrimination Complaint Appeal Submission Limits

(1) An adult in custody shall not have more than four active complaints (discrimination complaints, grievances, or appeals from either) at any time. Any discrimination complaint or discrimination complaint appeal submitted exceeding that limit will be found to be an improper use of the discrimination complaint review or grievance review systems and returned to the adult in custody with a statement of the rule. (2) An adult in custody may not submit more than a combined total of four initial discrimination complaints and grievances in any calendar month. (3) For the purposes of these rules, an emergency grievance, as defined in OAR 291-109-0110(12), or any appeal regarding an emergency grievance, is not counted when determining the number of active complaints or the number of submitted discrimination complaints or grievances within any calendar month. (4) Any discrimination complaint or grievance (or appeal of either) received that causes the adult in custody to exceed the limits described in OAR 291-006-0055(1) or (2) will be considered an improper use of the discrimination complaint review and grievance review systems.
