Or. Admin. Code § 414-320-0160 - [Effective 7/1/2025] Exceptions to Rules
(1) A certified ONB
program may request an exception to a rule on a form provided by DELC for a
specified period of time when:
(a) A
requirement does not apply to the certified ONB program; or
(b) The intent of the requirement can be met
by a method not specified in the applicable rule.
(2) An exception request must include:
(a) A justification for the requested
exception; and
(b) An explanation
of how the certified ONB program will meet the intent of the rule.
(3) An exception request will not
be granted:
(a) If the requirement is
established by state statute or federal law; or
(b) If the health, safety, and wellbeing of
the children cannot be ensured.
(4) A certified ONB program must remain in
compliance with the rule as written until DELC approves the exception
request.
(5) In certain
circumstances, a certified ONB program may be granted an ongoing exception that
will be reviewed annually to confirm the ONB program is in compliance with all
exception requirements.
(6) Each
exception request is unique to the applicable certified ONB program and is
evaluated on its own merits. The granting of an exception to a rule does not
set a precedent.
(7) DELC may
withdraw approval of an exception at any time, to ensure the health, safety and
wellbeing of the children.
