Or. Admin. R. 461-165-0410 - Provider Listing; Disqualifying Criminal History
(1) This rule explains the grounds upon which
the Department denies a request by a child care provider to receive child care
payments from a self-sufficiency program of the Department based on the records
of a subject individual (see OAR 125-007-0210 and 407-007-0210(8)(a)(J)). For
the purposes of this rule, the provider and any individual identified under OAR
461-165-0180(4) is considered a subject individual under OAR 125-007-0210 and
407-007-0210(8)(a)(J).
(2) The
Department may find a child care provider ineligible for payment when the
criminal history of a subject individual indicates behavior that may jeopardize
the safety of a child or have a detrimental effect on a child while in the care
of the provider, in the following circumstances, the subject individual has:
(a) Been charged with or arrested for a
drug-related, sexual, or violent crime listed in OAR 407-007-0270(1). There is
a rebuttable presumption that such a subject individual is likely to engage in
conduct that would pose a significant risk to a client, the Department, or a
vulnerable individual.
(b) Been
convicted of two or more crimes listed in OAR 125-007-0270 at any time.
(c) Been found in violation of
probation for a crime listed in OAR 125-007-0270, at any time that relates to
the person's qualification or duties as a child care provider.
(d) Been charged with two or more crimes
listed in OAR 125-007-0270 within the past five years.
(e) Three or more arrests, at any time, for
crimes listed in OAR 125-007-0270.
(3) The Department may pay for the services
of a child care provider even if a subject individual has a potentially
disqualifying criminal or abuse history, defined by OAR 125-007-0270 and 407
007 0290, only if the Department has determined, based on a weighing test as
described in OAR 125-007-0260, 407-007-0300, and 407-007-0320 and consideration
of the information listed in OAR 407-007-0280, 407-007-0290, and this rule,
that repeated criminal behavior is unlikely and that the provider does not
present a danger to a child in the provider's care.
