OAR 830-040-0010: Inspection of Licensed Facilities or Location Where Records Are Kept: Investigations

(1) Facilities must keep their premises sanitary at all times. (2) Every licensee must accommodate the inspector or investigator of the Board in making his or her inspections unless the licensee can clearly demonstrate that such accommodations will negatively impact the ability to provide scheduled services to consumers or that exigent circumstances exist. In such cases and upon the request of the Board, the licensee must make the reasons known to the Board in writing within ten days following the attempted inspection. When entry is refused under this section, the Board may obtain and execute warrant for inspection. (3) No licensee or employee of a licensed facility may give false or misleading information to an inspector, investigator or any other member of the Board while investigating a possible violation of law or administrative rules. (4) Every licensee must provide the Board inspector or investigator a copy of all documents as requested relevant to the inspection or investigation. (5) No person, licensee, or any agent of a licensee, may interfere with any inspection or investigation conducted by an agent of the Board. (6) The Board may inform a licensee of the nature of any complaint against the licensee that is being investigated except when the Board finds that disclosure of the potential violation would impede the effectiveness of the investigation, or that a serious danger to the public health or safety exists.
