OVERVIEW OF RULES
Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) determine how the Oregon Sweet Cherry 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Rules may be adopted, amended, repealed, suspended, or renumbered through a process known as rulemaking.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.
