What is a Rules Advisory Committee (RAC):
At the Rules Advisory Committee (RAC), committee members review and suggest edits to:
- The proposed rule text,
- Statement of Need,
- Fiscal Impact and
- Racial Equity Impact Statement.
HSD will use the suggestions to create the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. The division holds RAC meetings as required by Oregon's rulemaking laws and Oregon Department of Human Services/Oregon Health Authority RAC policy.
Medicaid (Chapter 410) RAC meetings are public meetings according to state law (Oregon Revised Statute 414.227).
What is a Community Engagement:
These meetings allow Behavioral Health and Medicaid to engage with community members:
- Where they are, and
- With the time and attention, the community needs.
These meetings can be:
- Listening sessions, town halls, office hours or other formats.
- A single meeting or a series over several months.
BHD decides the meeting format. length and frequency based on the community's needs.
