OAR 407-007-0000
Purpose and Scope

(1) The purpose of these rules, OAR 407-007-0000 to 407-007-0100 (Variances) is to supplement OAR 125-008-0200 to 125-007-0330 (Fees) with guidelines and requirements specific to background checks for Department of Human Services (Department) and Oregon Health Authority (Authority) subject individuals (SIs). These rules provide for the reasonable screening under ORS 181A.195 (Criminal records check), 181A.200 (Authority of Department of Human Services, Oregon Health Authority and Employment Department to require fingerprints), 409.027 (Abuse and neglect reports) AND 413.036 (Use of abuse and neglect reports for screening subject individuals) of the Department’s employees, volunteers, and contractors to determine if they have a history of specific criminal behavior identified in federal or state law or rules such that they should not be allowed to work, volunteer, be employed, or otherwise perform in positions covered by these rules.
(2) These rules apply to evaluating potentially disqualifying convictions and conditions of an SI when conducting fitness determinations based upon such information. The fact that an SI is approved does not guarantee employment or placement. Except for OAR 407-007-0010 (Definitions), these rules do not apply to SIs covered under OAR 407-007-0200 (Purpose and Scope) to 407-007-0370 (Variances).
(3) The Authority authorizes the Background Check Unit (BCU), a shared service of the Department and the Authority, to act on its behalf in performing criminal records checks. References in these rules to the Department or Authority shall be construed to be references to either or both agencies.
(4) Although abuse checks may occur concurrently with criminal records checks and may share similar processes, the criminal records check process is separate and distinct from the abuse checks that may be performed under OAR 407-007-0400 (Purpose) to 407-007-0460 (Confidentiality).
