ORS 705.143 Combined license processing; rules

The Department of Consumer and Business Services may establish one or more combined license processing programs. Participation in a combined license processing program by a state agency is voluntary. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, agencies participating in a combined license processing program may:

Use combined license applications;

Adopt standardized license terms under subsection (2) of this section;

Charge adjusted license fees established under subsection (2) of this section;

Issue combined license documents; and

Take any other action authorized under rules adopted pursuant to subsection (3) of this section that provides a simplified procedure for processing licenses issued pursuant to the program.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Department of Consumer and Business Services may establish a standardized term for licenses of state agencies participating in a combined license processing program. If the department establishes a standardized term under the provisions of this subsection, the agencies participating in the program shall adjust the fees established by statute for each license in an appropriate manner to ensure that there is no revenue loss by reason of the change in the term of the license.

The Department of Consumer and Business Services may adopt rules necessary for implementation of combined license processing programs. Any agency participating in a combined license processing program may:

Agree to be bound by the rules adopted by the Department of Consumer and Business Services; and

Adopt any other rules necessary for participation in a combined license processing program.
