The statute imposes mandatory duties to 'establish and enforce any child support obligation' and to 'establish genetic parentage' without age restriction, and explicitly references support for children attending school (ORS 107.108), which the statute recognizes can extend beyond 18. A reader might reasonably interpret the statute as authorizing establishment of support for a school-attending adult never previously in the system. The rule's flat prohibition on post-18 initiation narrows this authority. However, this can be read as reasonable implementation: the sequence envisioned is initiate before 18, modify after for school status.

The statute lists four bases for contesting suspension, including agreement compliance. The rule lists only three bases, omitting agreement compliance. Applicable because statute 25.750(1)(b) conditions subpoena-based suspension on either lack of agreement or non-compliance with an agreement. If an obligor has a valid compliance agreement, the statute appears to allow contesting on that basis, but the rule does not explicitly permit it.

Rule condition requires that obligor has not paid sufficiently during past three months, which is not stated in the statute's grounds for suspension.

This criterion does not apply to payments resulting from garnishment, tax offset, or any other enforcement action other than income withholding
Statute establishes two grounds for suspension: arrears at threshold plus agreement status, OR subpoena non-compliance plus agreement status. Statute does not condition suspension on recent payment history. Rule adds as a requirement that obligor must not have made sufficient payments in the past three months. This appears to be an additional requirement beyond what the statute requires. However, this may be a reasonable regulatory implementation of the discretion authorized by statute 25.750(2) allowing DOJ to specify conditions and terms of agreements, depending on whether past payment history could be deemed a 'condition' of determining whether an obligation exists.

The statute uses 'including' to introduce its list, which could indicate an illustrative rather than exhaustive enumeration.

However, the explicit enumeration of specific categories—with medical information notably absent—may suggest the statute did not contemplate that category as triggering the fingerprinting requirement.

The statute applies the model agreement provision to 'nonparticipating manufacturers'; the rule applies it to 'tobacco product manufacturers.' These terms may be equivalent or one may encompass the other, but the terminology is inconsistent with the statutory language. Since the rule implements a provision specifically limited to nonparticipating manufacturers, the rule should use matching terminology unless the broader term is intentional.

In order for DMV to determine if a person is in the business of disseminating information, the person must provide the following: (a) Sufficient evidence that the person is a legitimate business as set forth in OAR 735-010-0210(1); (b) A description of the business; (c) A description of the method used to ensure that personal information will be resold or redisclosed only to qualified persons or entities who are authorized by DMV to receive personal information; (d) A copy of or reference to a current business advertisement, including but not limited to the yellow pages, newspaper, television, internet or other media of general circulation. If from a reference DMV is unable to verify the advertisement, documentation of the advertisement may be required; and (e) Names and phone numbers of customers who may be contacted for verification.
The statute mandates that disseminator contracts contain a provision allowing disseminators to delay information to non-subscribers for up to two days. The rule lists required submissions from disseminators but does not mention or require verification of this two-day delay capability. The rule addresses contract provision (B) (authorized recipients only) in section (1)(c) but omits provision (C) (two-day delay).

The rule specifies only psychiatric and/or psychological evaluations, which cover psychiatric and psychological aspects but not medical/physical examinations. The rule does not explicitly prohibit physical exams, and the statute uses permissive language ('may cause to be brought before'), but the rule's omission of physical exams from a mandatory packet could create an implementation gap. A similar omission appears in OAR 255-030-0035 which lists only 'Current psychological/psychiatric evaluations' without mentioning physical examinations.

Statute requires suspension only when arrears equal or exceed the greater of three months of support or $2,500. Rule requires suspension when DOJ identifies someone 'as being in arrears' without specifying the threshold amount. Rule section (1) references 'according to ORS 25.750(a) or (b)' which might incorporate statutory thresholds, but section (2) suspension language does not. The rule may rely on DOJ to apply the threshold before identifying persons for suspension, but does not explicitly require the $2,500/three-month test in its own language. Statute makes suspension conditional on either (A) no agreement or (B) non-compliance with an agreement. Rule requires only that DOJ 'identifies' someone 'as being in arrears' and case is 'being enforced.' The rule does not state that the DOJ's identification must include verification that no agreement exists or that an existing agreement is not being complied with. The rule may assume DOJ's identification process includes this check, but does not explicitly require it in the HLO's decision to suspend.

The exemptions from maximum weight limitations in ORS 818.030(3), 818.070(3) and 818.140(3) apply to any department-owned vehicle, combination of vehicles, article, machine or other equipment leased from the department to a private contractor, when used under contract with the department.
The statute lists specific eligible entities and does not name private contractors. However, a contractor operating a state vehicle under a state contract could arguably constitute use 'by the State of Oregon' in functional terms. Ambiguous—worth legal review to determine whether contractor-operator status falls within statutory scope.

The rule may reasonably incorporate the statutory conditions implicitly since it cites the statute section. However, the rule does not explicitly require 'construction, maintenance or repair' or 'immediate location or site' conditions. A reader could potentially interpret 'when used under contract' as permitting exemptions for any departmental contract, not solely construction/maintenance/repair work at specified locations.

Notice requirement for GA housing assistance reductions appears to conflict with statutory mandate for advance notice

ORS 411.095(1)(a)verified in source
when the Department of Human Services or the Oregon Health Authority changes a benefit standard that results in the reduction, suspension or closure of a grant of public assistance or a grant of medical assistance, the department or the authority shall mail a notice of intended action to each recipient affected by the change at least 30 days before the effective date of the action
OAR 461-175-0224verified in source
In the GA program, no decision notice (see OAR 461-001-0000) is required under the following circumstances: (1) The Department reduces housing assistance payments because a change in housing arrangements results in decreased rent. (2) The Department ends housing assistance payments due to a loss of housing.
The statute requires advance notice when DHS action results in reduction or closure of public assistance. The rule explicitly provides that no decision notice is required for GA housing assistance reductions/closures in two specific circumstances. This could be consistent if 'changes a benefit standard' is interpreted narrowly to mean only changes to department policies, not applications of existing policies to changed client circumstances (e.g., lower rent). If housing assistance reduction due to lower rent is application of existing standards rather than a department benefit standard change, the rule may be correct. However, a plain reading of the statute could require notice whenever department action results in reduction.

DHS defines 'reasonable promptness' for claim action as 45 days from application, while OHA's rule establishes a 90-day timeline only after a hearing request, leaving initial 'reasonable promptness' undefined.

The statute's 'reasonable promptness' language addresses failure to act on the initial claim. OAR 461-025-0310 defines this as 45 days for DHS. OAR 410-200-0146(5) addresses only the final-order timeline post-hearing request, not the initial-action standard that triggers the right to request a hearing. If OAR 410-200-0145 or other OHA rules define an initial timeline, the inconsistency may not exist; however, within the provided texts, the two agencies appear to implement different standards.

The statute's sections (1) and (2) use the broad term 'aid' without specifying program. Section (3) may limit the entire section to TANF, or may simply clarify that TANF is included when federally funded. If sections (1) and (2) apply broadly to all aid recipients, Title IV-E programs (also federally funded) could reasonably fall within the statute's scope, supporting the rule's consistency with statutory intent.

Statute specifies exemption from ORS 418.625 to 418.645, while the implementing rule narrows this to ORS 418.625 to 418.470. This effectively changes which ORS sections apply to proctor foster homes, potentially expanding regulatory requirements if sections 418.471-418.645 are relevant to child welfare licensing.

Statute specifically includes 'secure nonemergency medical transportation provider' as a defined category with specific attributes. Rule generalizes this to 'secure transportation services provider' and relocates the route requirements (begins or ends in state) from ORS 418.241 definition to this rule. Rule text does not preserve the 'nonemergency medical' specification, potentially expanding scope beyond what statute contemplates.

Conviction of a crime in any state or jurisdiction;
The statute's requirement that a crime 'bears a demonstrable relationship' to massage practice is an essential limiting principle. The rule's broader language (any crime, any jurisdiction) appears to remove this limiting requirement, potentially allowing discipline based on unrelated criminal conduct.

Statute limits disciplinary action basis to actions against massage therapists or facility operators; rule extends to any licensed healthcare professional.

The statute expressly limits this ground to disciplinary action 'as a massage therapist or operator of a massage facility.' The rule's extension to 'any licensed healthcare professional' appears to broaden the scope beyond what the statute authorizes, potentially allowing discipline based on disciplinary action in unrelated healthcare professions (e.g., nursing, dentistry).

An approved extended detention program plan must be renewed biennially ... [with] full Council reapproval every sixth year.
Both rule sets carry status: current with no supersedes link and no cross-reference to each other. Plausibly the 2019 rule reflects a real reorganization (juvenile-justice functions moving to the Youth Development Council) that quietly displaced the 2003 rule without a formal repeal being reflected in this corpus — but that reading isn't confirmed against ORS 419C.453 itself, which is outside this pilot's cluster. Confirmed independently by both batch 1 and the batch-2 re-check (2026-07-23) — high-confidence finding.

Two rule regimes from different agencies/eras (2003 CJC vs. 2019 OYA) both claim to implement the same juvenile extended-detention statute, naming different approving bodies (JCPAC vs. Youth Development Council) with different renewal cadences (5-year vs. biennial), with no supersession link.

Seclusion or restraint may be used only for the management of violent or self-destructive behavior that jeopardizes the immediate physical safety of the patient, a staff member, or other individuals.
In behavioral health settings, terminology may distinguish between 'mechanical restraints' (statute, possibly medical procedures or restraint devices) and 'seclusion or restraint' (rule, behavioral management). If these terms are synonymous or substantially overlap, the rule's restriction to behavioral management narrows the statute's 'medical needs' standard. A reasonable counter-reading is that the statute and rule address distinct types of restraint use, one medical and one behavioral.

The rule (2013) postdates the statute's last amendment (2007), so this isn't explained by the rule predating a later statutory change. The same rule section correctly defers 'veteran' to the statute by reference but chose to restate 'immediate family' independently, narrowing it.

The Mental Health boards' rules extend this to require good standing in 'any jurisdiction where the applicant is or has been licensed' — retroactively checking all past jurisdictions. This is broader/more restrictive than the statute specifies. Reasonable reading: statute allows someone with past regulatory issues in another state to qualify if they are in good standing with their current licensing state; rules would exclude them based on history anywhere.

Defensible counter-reading: the board is exercising delegated authority within statutory limits without needing to restate the limitation in rule text.

However, the rule includes 'unless otherwise required by law,' which could be read to incorporate statutory constraints. Additionally, if the national and engineering geologist exams are recurring, they may continuously satisfy the statute's 'to be used again' condition.

The statute explicitly requires applicants to show 'completion' of an approved training program as one path (subsection A), or alternatively 'has' military training equivalent or 'has' other health care education that the board determines sufficient. The statute's language—particularly 'completion' in (A) and 'has' in (C)—refers to education/training already completed or possessed. OAR 851-062-0050(1)(e)(D) allows 'current enrollment' as a separate alternative path. Enrollment indicates training in progress, not yet completed. The rule presents enrollment as a distinct fourth pathway alongside completion, suggesting they are alternatives rather than equivalent. However, enrollment could arguably satisfy statute section (b)(C) if the board has determined that enrollment in an approved program constitutes 'other health care education...that the board determines is sufficient,' though the rule does not explicitly make this determination or explain the reasoning.

In addition to the assessments established in OAR 440-045-0020, self-insured employers for the Calendar Year 2026 shall be assessed an additional 0.1 percent to fund the Self-Insured Employer Adjustment Reserve. Public self-insured employer groups for the Calendar Year 2026 shall be assessed an additional 0.1 percent to fund the Self-Insured Employer Group Adjustment Reserve. Private self-insured employer groups for the Calendar Year 2026 shall be assessed an additional 0.5 percent to fund the Self-Insured Employer Group Adjustment Reserve.
OAR 436-085-0005(8)-(9)verified in source
(8) "Self-Insured employer" means an employer that has been certified under ORS 656.430 as having met the qualifications of a self-insured employer set out by ORS 656.407. (9) "Self-Insured employer group" means five or more employers certified under ORS 656.430 as having met the qualifications of a self-insured employer set out by ORS 656.407 and OAR 436-050-0260 through 436-050-0340.
The statute distinguishes between 'self-insured employers' (individual entities) and 'self-insured employer groups' (five or more entities) as separate categories throughout 656.612(1). Subsection (3) limits the additional assessment authority to 'self-insured employer groups,' not individual 'self-insured employers.' However, OAR 440-045-0025 imposes an additional 0.1% assessment on individual 'self-insured employers' as well as on groups. A reasonable counter-reading might note that OAR 436-085-0030(1) states that for purposes of that rule, 'self-insured employers' includes groups, but 440-045-0025 does not contain such a definitional provision and appears to treat them as separate categories.

Read this before quoting the chart

Coverage is a pilot, not a sweep. The model read 172 ORS chapters — those in the shared-authority set, where multiple agencies implement the same statute — reviewing 10,890 rules; 33 chapters came back with no candidates. The rest of the ORS is simply unexamined, so absence from this page is not evidence of consistency. Quotes were checked against the corpus mechanically: of 2,954 quoted passages, 2,591 were found verbatim in the cited document, 34 assert an omission (nothing to match), and 129 could not be located verbatim — read those against the source before relying on them. Severity is mostly absent and never human: 1,325 of 1,398 candidates carry no grade at all, and the 73 that do were graded by the model, not a person. Human triage stands at 1,398 unreviewed, 0 confirmed, 0 dismissed. 10 candidates rest on a rule that has since been repealed (tagged on the card) — a repealed rule binds nobody. Publishing this page (2026-08-03, an operator decision) publishes candidates, not findings: presence here is not evidence that a conflict exists, and nothing here is legal advice or legal review.

Full provenance note and methodology

CURATED, AI-ASSISTED, NOT mechanically derived and NOT legally reviewed. Produced by an exploratory pilot (2026-07-22, extended 2026-07-23): for each ORS chapter with 2+ agencies implementing it via OAR rules (the shared-authority set already computed in _meta/agency-graph.json), an LLM read the chapter's cited statute text plus every implementing rule's full text in one pass and was asked to identify CANDIDATE inconsistencies — never to assert that a conflict exists. Every candidate below carries the exact document IDs and quoted text it is based on; nothing here should be read as a legal finding. See git history for the retired BACKLOG.md "Visualization" section for the method note and docs/mcp.md-style disclaimers used elsewhere in this repo. This file is a snapshot of three runs over 60 distinct chapters (of 245 in the full shared-authority set), not an exhaustive or automatically-refreshed corpus scan — rerunning the pilot over the same or different chapters could surface different candidates. 13 chapters were re-analyzed a second time (batch 2, cheaper model) and a third time (batch 3, back to Sonnet) after a real model-quality gap surfaced between batches — see per-chapter notes. FOURTH RUN (2026-07-31, run_id haiku-scan-2026-07-31): a section-scoped screening pass, unlike the three chapter-scoped pilot batches above. 191 ORS sections across 72 chapters were screened, each by a separate Haiku agent reading one statute section plus only the rules that cite it as authority — not the whole chapter. Chapter entries from this run therefore carry a `sections_reviewed` list, and the chapter as a whole is NOT covered: a chapter appearing below may have hundreds of unscreened sections. This run was a partial sweep that stopped early at 191 of 1,850 queued units when the session hit its agent limit; units were ordered so that all 115 sections implemented by two or more different agencies were screened first, and that tier is complete. Every quote was mechanically checked against the cited document before merging: 109 candidates were proposed, 33 were DROPPED for quotes that do not appear in the document they cite (some fabricated outright, some real text with an edited tail), and 76 were kept. `type` was not elicited by this run's prompt and is null throughout; `confidence` and `severity` are the model's own graded self- assessment and are not a measure of correctness.

Methodology: Per chapter: pull every ORS section cited as authority by an implementing OAR rule in that chapter, plus the full text of every one of those rules (source: _meta/graph.json implements/implemented_by edges). Give the whole cluster to an LLM in one pass (not pairwise) and ask for candidate inconsistencies with quotes and citations, near-misses that looked like conflicts but resolved as non-issues on careful reading, and any citation-metadata artifacts noticed along the way. Batch 1 (2026-07-22, 12 chapters, Sonnet): 3 chosen for moderate agency count + high staleness lag (801, 819, 435 — zero candidates found), then 9 more chosen the same way (215, 408, 270, 646, 169, 283, 291, 820, 813 — ~15 candidates found). Batch 2 (2026-07-23, 20 chapters — the same 12 re-run plus 8 new: 163, 163A, 166, 167, 419A, 814, 244, 419C — Haiku, for cost control at high monthly token usage): re-running the original 12 after corpus data-quality fixes surfaced a real recall gap between models — the cheaper model found zero candidates on 813/820, where batch 1 had flagged some. Batch 3 (2026-07-23, 53 chapters — the same 13 chapters batch 2 touched, re-run a third time on Sonnet, plus 40 brand-new chapters — all Sonnet, after confirming the cheaper model materially undercounted): batch 3 supersedes batch 2 for all 13 overlapping chapters (those chapter entries below are the batch-3/Sonnet version; batch-2/Haiku findings for the same chapters are noted inline where the two runs disagreed rather than kept as separate entries). Batch 3 found dramatically more candidates than batch 2 on the same chapters (roughly 3x), confirming the recall gap was real and not chapter-specific. Selection for the 40 new chapters in batch 3: the 40 smallest-by-implementing-rule-count chapters remaining in the shared-authority set, to bound token cost while extending coverage — this biases the sample toward simpler/narrower regulatory domains, so treat the batch-3 "clean chapter" rate as not necessarily representative of larger chapters.
