ORS 701.236: Rulemaking to interpret, harmonize or adjust licensing requirements; exceptional circumstances.

(1) To the extent that a requirement necessary to obtain or maintain a license, endorsement or other authorization to perform work from the Construction Contractors Board is unclear, duplicative or in conflict, or in instances where a requirement conflicts with the board’s efforts to modernize operations and ensure consistent regulatory enforcement, the board may adopt rules the board deems necessary to interpret, harmonize, streamline, adjust or promote consistent application of the requirement.

      (2) The board by rule may identify exceptional circumstances for considering a complaint under ORS 701.139, 701.140 or 701.143 that the board would ordinarily deny, if the complaint otherwise complies with the requirements of this chapter to the maximum extent possible under the identified circumstances.
