Oregon Administrative Rules
Chapter 863 - REAL ESTATE AGENCY
Division 5 - CRIMINAL RECORDS CHECK AND CRIMINAL BACKGROUND FITNESS DETERMINATION RULES
Section 863-005-0070 - Appeals

(1) A subject individual may not appeal a criminal background fitness determination or a decision to close a criminal background fitness determination for reason of incompleteness.

(2) If a licensing or registration applicant wishes to, they may complete any additional pre-licensing/registration requirements and submit a completed license/registration application together with the required fees. Upon review of a completed license/registration application, the agency shall issue a "notice of intent to deny" that describes the reason for the denial. The notice shall also include information required by OAR 137-003-0505 that describes the subject individual's right to request a contested case hearing to appeal the agency's decision.

(3) Contested case hearings on criminal background fitness determinations shall be closed to non-participants.

(4) A subject individual may not use the appeals process established by this rule to challenge the accuracy or completeness of information provided by the Oregon Department of State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any other agency reporting information to the Oregon Department of State Police or the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

(5) Any challenge to any information provided by the Oregon Department of State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or any other agency reporting information to the Oregon Department of State Police or the Federal Bureau of Investigation must follow the appeal process prescribed by the reporting agency.

(6) If the subject individual successfully challenges the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by the Oregon Department of State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or an agency reporting information to the Oregon Department of State Police or the Federal Bureau of Investigation that the agency relied on to support a decision to deny a criminal background fitness determination, the subject individual may request the agency to conduct a new criminal records check and re-evaluate the original criminal background fitness determination made under OAR 863-005-0020. The subject individual shall submit a new background check application to the agency within 30 days of the date the Oregon Department of State Police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or an agency reporting information to the Oregon Department of State Police or the Federal Bureau of Investigation issues a corrected criminal background report.
