Conditions on License
The Department may attach conditions
to a license that limit, restrict, or specify other criteria for operation of a

(c) There is reliable evidence

to provide services for a specific person only and further placements may not be

a hearing in accordance with ORS Chapter 183 and this rule upon receipt of written
notice of conditions. The request for a hearing must be in writing.

(b) In addition to, or in

writing. The administrative review does not diminish the right of the provider to
a hearing.

to a hearing, a provider may request an administrative review by the Director of
the Department for imposition of conditions. The request for an administrative review
must be in writing.

for a hearing must be in writing. The Department must receive the written request
for a hearing within 21 days from the receipt of the original written notice of
conditions.
(6) The provider may send
a written request to the Department to remove a condition if the provider believes
the situation that warranted the condition has been remedied.

upon a judgment of a court of record.
