No crimes are considered automatically disqualifying under these rules.

Any federal crime.

Any U.S. military crime.

(c)

Felonies and misdemeanors in Oregon. Any felony or misdemeanor in Oregon Revised Statutes.

(d)

Crimes Outside Oregon. Any felony or misdemeanor in a jurisdiction outside Oregon (including crimes outside the United States) that is the substantial equivalent of any Oregon crime, or that is serious and indicates behavior that poses a threat or jeopardizes the safety of the Commission, its client entities, the State, or members of the public as determined by the authorized designee.
