Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) determine how the Oregon Wheat Commission and other state agencies operate, including how they interpret and implement state laws. Administrative rules can also describe agency practices and policies. Rules may be adopted, amended, repealed, suspended, or renumbered through a process known as rulemaking. Our rulemaking process offers several opportunities to provide feedback on a proposed rule. After a proposed rule has been approved and filed with the Secretary of State, that rule becomes adopted.

The Oregon Wheat Commission is the formal policy and rulemaking body. Proposed rules only become effective when the Commission adopts them. The following rules apply:

• OAR Chapter 678, Division 1: Procedural Rules
• OAR Chapter 678, Division 5: Screening and Selection Procedures for Personal Service Contracts Entered Into by the Oregon Wheat Commission
• OAR Chapter 678, Division 10: Reporting and Payment of Assessments
• OAR Chapter 678, Division 20: Request for Public Records
• OAR Chapter 678, Division 30: Commission Terms, Make-Up and Qualifications
• OAR Chapter 678, Division 40: Commission Per Diem Compensation and Expense Reimbursement

The Oregon Wheat Commission does not currently have any proposed rules. When the Commission engages in rulemaking, it includes on this page a statement of potential fiscal impact of the proposed rule; summary of the proposed rule; FAQ documents pertaining to the rulemaking; and minutes or recordings from rulemaking meetings. Public comments will also be published on this page during the rulemaking process.

The Oregon Wheat Commission does not currently have any rulemaking scheduled for 2025.
