Wearing face masks and obtaining COVID-19 vaccination are two important strategies that play a role in controlling COVID-19. Under Oregon Revised Statute 183.335, temporary rules cannot be extended past six months. Because under Oregon law, temporary rules cannot be extended, OHA has proposed to adopt these rules as permanent until they are no longer needed as strategies to control spread of disease.","enforcement":"n/a","functions":["record evidence that the August 2021 school mask and staff vaccination rules were adopted and remained in force into 2022"],"notes":"OHA\u0027s own account of the August 2021 rules\u0027 purpose and continuity; useful to answer any assertion that no orders reached schools in Q3 2021.","sourceUrl":"https://www.oregon.gov/oha/PH/RULESREGULATIONS/Documents/333-019-1015_1030_HOReport_FINAL_01.28.2022.pdf","snapshot":"","fileExists":true,"fileBytes":420522,"grade":"primary","character":"","description":"","collection":"OR","url":"/library/OR-053","exhibitUrl":"/exhibit/OR-053","citation":"Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division, Office of the State Public Health Director (Hearing Officer Brittany Hall), Presiding Hearing Officer\u0027s Report on Rulemaking Hearing and Public Comment Period, OAR 333-019-1015 and 333-019-1030 (Jan. 28, 2022) (Ex.
