Or. Admin. Code § 419-240-0160 - Exception to Completing an Investigation
(1) The OTIS Supervisor may determine that an
assigned report does not require an investigation or abuse determination under
the following exceptions:
(a) The report was
assigned for investigation in error; or
(b) The OTIS investigator received
information after the report was assigned for investigation and that
information, in combination with the corresponding screening report, no longer
constitutes a report of abuse as defined in 419B.005. This exception may be
used only when the OTIS investigator and an OTIS supervisor or designee
determine the information:
(A) Relates
directly to and specifically negates all allegations in the screening report;
and
(B) Is considered on the basis
of the objectivity of the individual providing the information and the quality
of the information.
(2) An investigation must be completed when
the OTIS investigator has already interviewed the alleged victim, unless the
alleged victim is the reporter.
(3)
The OTIS investigator must document the exception and:
(a) Explain the basis for the determination
that an OTIS investigation is no longer required; and
(b) Document the name of the OTIS supervisor
who was consulted and approved an exception under this rule.
