Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) are adopted to carry out laws. Rules may be necessary because a law directs an agency to develop rules, to interpret the agency’s governing statutes, prescribe agency procedures or articulate agency policy decisions that have been delegated by the legislature.
The Archives Division of the Secretary of State maintains the official record for rulemaking by all state agencies. Current administrative rules can be found online.
ODOT administrative rules are found in OAR Chapters 731, 732, 734, 735, 737, 740 and 741.
The Secretary of State publishes the notice information for proposed rules in the Oregon Bulletin, but not the draft rule text. The purpose of theAgency Rulemaking Actions page is to make the text of proposed rules available electronically. You can send comments on proposed rules electronically, by U.S. mail or by fax. If a public hearing is scheduled, you may provide comments orally or in writing at the hearing. Once the rules have been approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission and filed with the Secretary of State, the rules will be moved to the Recently Adopted Rules section of the page.
