Or. Admin. R. 603-015-0110 - Civil Penalty Determination Formula
The Department will use the following formula to calculate the civil penalty assessed: B + [ (0.1 X B) (P + S)], where:
(1) B = Base penalty from matrix: Category 1
= $250; Category 2 = $150; Category 3 = $75.
(2) P = Past occurrence of violations within
the past 5 years. P will be weighted from 0 to 6 in the following manner: 0 =
No prior violations or insufficient evidence on which to base a finding; 1 =
Past occurrence of one category 3 violation; 2 = Past occurrence of one
Category 2 violation or two category 3 violations; 3 = Past occurrence of one
Category 1 violation, two Category 2 violations, or three Category 3
violations; 4 = Past occurrence of two Category 1 violations, three Category 2
violations, or four Category 3 violations; 5 = Past occurrence of three
Category 1 violations, four Category 2 violations, or five or more Category 3
violations; 6 = Past occurrence of more than three Category 1 violations or
five or more Category 2 violations.
(3) S = Size of rescue entity, the number of
animals in the entity's legal custody. S will be weighted from 0 to 2 in the
following manner: 0 = Small rescue entity (0 to 25 animals); 2 = Medium rescue
entity (26 to 100 animals); 4 = Large rescue entity (greater than 100
animals).
