Section 809-025-0040 - Exemptions
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 3, March 1, 2024
(1) Upon receipt of a written request, the Board, in its sole discretion, may exempt a registrant from the annual continuing education activity requirements as follows:
(2) A registrant requesting an exemption shall provide adequate documentation to support the request. The Board, in its sole discretion, may request additional documentation. A request for exemption is incomplete if the registrant does not provide the requested documentation.
(3) The Board may, in its sole discretion, approve a full or partial exemption from the annual continuing education activity requirements based on the specific circumstances of each request.
(4) The Board may delegate the authority to approve continuing education activity exemptions to the Board Continuing Education Coordinator (CEC), Board Administrator, or other designee of the Board.
(5) Any exemption approved will be documented in writing from the Board to the registrant.
(6) A registrant with need for an exemption must contact the Board as soon as feasible but at a minimum prior to the registrant's renewal date. A request for exemption received after the registrant's renewal date shall not be considered.
(7) The Board may not approve requests for exemptions not submitted timely. A written request for exemption received by the Board after the registrant is notified by the Board of the registrant's selection for a continuing education activity audit is not submitted timely.
(8) A registrant may not be exempted from continuing education activity requirements solely due to not having actively engaged in the public practice of geology in Oregon during the renewal period.
