Oregon regulations: details
Copied from the Oregon Secretary of State’s Administrative Rules Database (OARD) on October 19, 2026. Check the official page before you rely on a rule.
What is here
- Release 1: 39,613 rules of the Oregon Administrative Rules, read by us from the Oregon Secretary of State’s Administrative Rules Database: its 181 chapter pages and the 3,153 division pages they link. We copied the pages on October 19, 2026. Each rule keeps the Statutory/Other Authority, Statutes/Other Implemented and History lines the page prints under it. A rule changed after we copied its page is not reflected here.
- It is not the official compilation, and we do not know whether the online text is the official version. Check the Secretary of State’s site and the filed rule before relying on a rule.
- The division pages print 40,812 rule blocks. 1,199 of them (1,194 rule numbers) are held and not shown yet, each by name with its reasons: mainly rules whose text points to attachments or a filed document the page links but does not print (754) and temporary rule language in effect until a date, printed in the rule’s place (337). A held rule comes back as held, with its reasons and no text. Held is not absent. 81 division pages print no rule.
- Oregon ships in releases. Later releases add held rules once each is checked; nothing held is shown before then.
- Look a rule up by its number, as in 291-001-0020, OAR 291-001-0020 or Or. Admin. R. 291-001-0020. A long rule comes back in pages, and nothing is cut. A division such as OAR 291-001 lists its rules: shown and held.
How we checked it
- Two separate readers, written with no shared code, read every division page: one walks the page’s HTML structure, one reads it with string operations only. A rule is shown only where both agree on its number, its title, every word of its text, its authority and implemented lines and every History line.
- A rule is held when its text points to attachments or a filed document the page links but does not print, when the page prints temporary rule language in effect until a date in its place, when the page prints it as temporarily suspended, when it has no Statutory/Other Authority line, when the page marks words in it as inserted or deleted, when its number is printed in more than one block, or when the two readers disagree.
- A check run on the whole release confirmed that every chapter page and every division page the chapter pages link was read, that every number a chapter page lists was read, that every held rule has a reason, and that no number is shown twice.
- Before release, we read 20 shown rules drawn at random (seed s1102-or-gate) against the saved division pages: the number, the title, one inner paragraph, the authority and implemented lines and every History line of all 20 match the page word for word.
- One AI system wrote the readers, ran every check and made every reading and ruling, with no second reader.
What it can't tell you
- Whether a rule is in force, valid or current, or is good law.
- Whether anything changed after we copied the pages on October 19, 2026.
- Whether the online text agrees with the official or filed text.
- What the attachments and filed documents the pages link say.
Known gaps
- 1,199 rule blocks are held and not shown yet, among them 337 with temporary rule language and 754 whose attachments the page does not print.
- Attachments, exhibits and filing receipts the pages link are not read.
- 587 shown rules print no Statutes/Other Implemented line; that line is empty for them, as on the page.
- Bold, underline, italic type, indentation and links are not shown; the words are the page’s.
- Keyword search reads only the shown rules. Held rules have no text here and never match.
Notes you may see on an entry
- A held rule: “GLO holds this rule and does not show its text yet, because its two readers or the release check did not clear it. Its reasons are listed by name.”
- A rule not in this copy: “Not in this copy of the Oregon Administrative Rules, neither shown nor held. That never means the rule does not exist.”
