OAR 635-049-0280: Inspection of Cervid Propagation License — Type 2 Facilities and Records

Applicants shall mail the “request for inspection” form to the department office designated in their application approval notification letter and arrange for inspection of their facilities. If the department has made the determinations required by OAR 635-049-0270(1), a license may be issued upon department inspection and approval of the facilities. (1) No animals may be held until receipt of the license. The license is an annual permit, valid from January 1 through December 31. (2) In the first year of issuance, the license shall be valid from the date of issuance through December 31. (3) Persons holding cervids under a Cervid Propagation License — Type 2 agree, as a condition of the license, to allow employees of the department, the Oregon Department of Agriculture, or the Oregon State Police to inspect at reasonable times all facilities, records, animals, and other such property related to the licensed operation. Inspection of the animals and the facilities related to animal husbandry may take place without warrant or notice, but, unless prompted by emergency or other exigent circumstances, shall be limited to regular and usual business hours, including weekends. Nothing in these rules is intended to authorize or allow the warrantless search or inspection of a licensee’s residence. (4) Cervid license holders also agree, as a condition of the license, to provide all records related to the animals, facilities or other property related to the cervid operation upon request. Failure to provide such information shall be a basis for revoking, suspending or refusing to renew a license, as provided in OAR 635-049-0120.
