OAR 603-032-0090: Intent

Persons who operate grain warehouses in Oregon should obtain copies from the State Department of Agriculture, Commodity Inspection Division, 635 Capitol Street N.E., Salem, Oregon 97310, and become familiar with the provisions of the Oregon Grain Warehouse and Inspection Law, ORS Chapter 586. The regulations hereafter promulgated by the Department, in most instances merely clarify and carry out the intent of the legislature and such law. Particular reference for example, should be made in the law to the definition of “Grain” and the fact should be noted (ORS 586.382) in the law it states in part “A warehouseman operating another business in conjunction with, or in proximity to, his licensed public warehouse shall keep a complete set of records for the warehouse business, entirely separate and distinct from the accounts and records of any other business.” Regulations have the effect of law in Oregon.
