Or. Admin. Code § 851-031-0041 - Governor Declared Emergency
(1) During an
emergency declared by the Governor pursuant to ORS
401.165 and subject to terms and
conditions that the Board may impose, a limited LPN or RN license may be issued
to an applicant who holds active unencumbered nursing licensure at the same
level in another state or U.S. jurisdiction when the following requirements are
met:
(a) A completed application and payment
of fee is received by the Board; and
(b) Using instructions provided by the Board,
the applicant must arrange for primary source verification of the active
unencumbered nursing license in another state or jurisdiction.
(2) The limited license shall
expire on the following date, whichever occurs first:
(a) The Oregon Governor-Declared Emergency
declaration expires; or
(b) The
license in the state or jurisdiction that was used to obtain the limited
license expires; or
(c) Two years
after the issuance of the limited license.
(3) Non-Renewable Limited License: A limited
license for a governor-declared emergency is not renewable and expires based on
whichever occurs first in OAR
851-031-0041(2).
The individual must apply for permanent Oregon LPN or RN licensure by
endorsement to continue working as a nurse in Oregon. Continuing to work in
Oregon after the limited license has expired, and without an active permanent
Oregon nursing license at the same level is considered practicing without a
valid license and is subject to Board action.
(4) Reactivation of Limited License: A
previously issued expired limited license may be reactivated if the following
are true:
(a) A new state of emergency has
been declared by the Governor; and
(b) The individual has not been issued
permanent Oregon nursing licensure by endorsement; and
(c) Holds active unencumbered nursing
licensure at the same level in another state or U.S. jurisdiction.
(d) A qualified applicant must:
(A) Submit a completed reactivation
application and fee to the Board; and
(B) Using instructions provided by the Board,
the applicant must arrange for primary source verification of the active
unencumbered nursing license in another state or jurisdiction.
