OAR 635-600-0000: Statement of Purpose and Statutory Authority

Purpose: These rules provide for the Department’s acquisition of information about a subject individual’s criminal history through criminal history checks and its use of that information to determine whether the subject individual is fit to provide services to the Department as an employee, contractor, vendor or volunteer in a position covered by OAR 635-600-0010(2). The fact that the Department approves a subject individual as fit does not guarantee the individual a position as a Department employee, contractor, vendor or volunteer.
