Summary:

OAR 413-015-0470 about child protective services (CPS) assessments and notifications is being amended to modify the notification at the conclusion of a CPS assessment to be a verbal notification rather than a written notification. There will still be written notification to perpetrators of founded dispositions. This amendment further details the documentation requirements as they relate to the notification.

 

Summary:

OAR 413-120-0420 and 413-120-0460 are being amended and OAR 413-120-0470 is being suspended to bring the rules about background check requirements for relative caregivers, foster parents, adoptive parents, and other persons in household into alignment with the new certification rules with respect to the background check requirements for respite providers and the contested case hearing rights of applicants who have been denied.
