Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) The OTIS Supervisor may determine that an assigned report does not require an investigation or abuse determination under the following exceptions:
(a) The report was assigned for investigation
in error; or
(b) The OTIS
investigator received information after the report was assigned for
investigation and that information, in combination with the corresponding
screening report, no longer constitutes a report of abuse as defined in ORS

or
419B.005. This
exception may be used only when the OTIS investigator and an OTIS supervisor or
designee determine the information:
(A)
Relates directly to and specifically negates all allegations in the screening
report; and
(B) Is considered on
the basis of the objectivity of the individual providing the information and
the quality of the information.
(2) An investigation must be completed when the OTIS investigator has already interviewed the alleged victim, unless the alleged victim is the reporter.
(3) The OTIS investigator must document the exception and:
(a) Explain the basis for the determination
that an OTIS investigation is no longer required; and
(b) Document the name of the OTIS supervisor
who was consulted and approved an exception under this rule.
