(3) If the applicant does not meet the standards for licensure or there are criminal history or personal history issues that call into question the ability of the applicant to perform the duties of a licensed EMS provider in accordance with ORS chapter 682 or these rules, the Authority may deny the applicant on the basis of the information provided in the application, or conduct an investigation in accordance with OAR 333-265-0085. (4) Following an investigation the Authority may: (a) Deny the application; (b) Grant the application but place the applicant on probation; (c) Grant the application but place practice restrictions on the applicant; or (d) Grant the application if the criminal or personal history issues were resolved through the investigation to the Authority’s satisfaction.
