From BOA.Rules at oregon.gov Fri Jun 9 15:59:20 2017 From: BOA.Rules at oregon.gov (Rules * BOA) Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2017 22:59:20 +0000 Subject: [Boainactive] Board of Accountancy Notice of Rulemaking Hearing and Opportunity to Comment Message-ID: <6196585478109C49B4199D47EAFCC73E01765B5DCA@WPORGEXCL10.ENTSS.OR.GOV> Dear Licensees, This is an invitation to comment on a rulemaking proposal from the Oregon Board of Accountancy (Board), intended to increase efficiency in its investigation process and to clarify disciplinary authority of the Board. The proposal would align the wording of Board rules more closely with statute which allow discretion as to whether every complaint must be investigated, and would allow the Board to require - with some discretion - usage of a complaint form for the complaint process. Finally, the proposed rules expand the scenarios under which a settlement agreement can be negotiated by the Executive Director for review and approval by the Board, which will assist with faster resolution of cases. The front page of the Board's web site of the Board has been updated with documents reflecting the specific language proposed. Division 001 and Division 030. The Board will hold a Rulemaking Hearing on July 19, 2017, at 10 a.m. at the Board Offices and has opened a written comment period until August 1, 2017. You may submit written comment simply by responding to this e-mail address, which has been specifically set up for this purpose. The results of the written and oral comment process will be brought to the August 7, 2017, Board meeting, at which point adoption of final rules could occur with an effective date as early as August 8, 2017. Thank you as always for your consideration and feedback. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
