OAR 635-075-0003: Decision Standard for Suspension and Revocation from the LOP Program

(1) If a landowner as defined in OAR 635-045-0002 (or the landowner’s partner, member, manager, employee, or any person using an LOP tag provided by the landowner) is convicted of violation of the wildlife laws arising from participating in the LOP program, the Department may suspend that landowner from participating in the LOP program for three years, beginning upon issuance of a final order. (a) When the Department suspends a landowner pursuant to paragraph (1), that suspension will include any and all properties associated with that landowner, including properties registered to the individual, as a partnership, or as a corporation, and the suspension will run for the same period of time as for the landowner. (b) When the Department suspends a landowner pursuant to paragraph (1), the Department will also revoke any unused LOP tags previously issued for the landowner’s properties. (2) Any landowner whose LOP program participation the Department proposes to suspend may request a contested case hearing within 14 days of notice of the proposed decision.
