| About Public Meetings |
|
Board meetings are governed by the Oregon Attorney General's Administrative Law Manual and Uniform and Model Rules found in Oregon Revised Statutes, Chapter 192.
Executive Sessions may be held per ORS 192.660. Executive Sessions are closed to members of the public. The Board may hold an Executive Session for discussion of confidential examination material, evaluation of the Agency Director, and for the review of evidence pertaining to disciplinary cases. However, the Board must make a motion and vote in public session before any disciplinary action is taken.
The Board must provide to all interested parties (within 24 hours) a public meeting notice or Executive Session notice. These notices will be posted on the Agency Web site at least one week in advance. If there is an emergency meeting, the notice will be posted at least 24 hours in advance.
If four or more Board members are meeting, they are considered a quorum. A quorum is not allowed to discuss any matters under consideration by the Board. If there is discussion about that which is under consideration, it could result in an illegal meeting where the public was not invited.
The Board is divided into four subcommittees: Administration Committee, Business Practices Committee, Exam & Education Committee and Complaint Committee. Committees discuss items on the agenda, give updates to the Board, and make recommendations to the Board. Although the committees are not considered a quorum, their meetings are considered public, and are noticed accordingly. When discussing confidential information, the committees must meet in Executive Session.
