(b) The interim committee shall consider the Legislative Counsel determination described in paragraph (a) of this subsection and any state agency response to the determination. If the interim committee adopts the Legislative Counsel determination, the Legislative Counsel shall post the determination on the Legislative Counsel website. Adopted determinations that are posted on the website shall be organized by OAR number and shall remain on the website until the earlier of the date that:
(A) The rule is modified and the Legislative Counsel determines that the modified rule is within the intent and scope of the enabling legislation;
(B) A court makes a final determination that the rule is within the intent and scope of the enabling legislation and is otherwise constitutional, all appeals of the court’s determination are exhausted and the state agency notifies the Legislative Counsel of the determination; or
(C) The Legislative Assembly modifies the enabling legislation so as to bring the rule within the intent and scope of the enabling legislation, any other constitutional defect in the rule is cured and the state agency notifies the Legislative Counsel of the modification or cure.
(2) If the Legislative Counsel determines under ORS 183.720 (3) that a proposed or adopted rule is not within the intent and scope of the enabling legislation purporting to authorize the rule’s adoption, or that the rule is not constitutional, and the interim committee is not satisfied with the response to those issues made by the state agency, the committee may request that one or more representatives of the agency appear at a subsequent meeting of the committee along with a representative of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services for the purpose of further explaining the position of the agency.
(3) If a state agency is requested under subsection (2) of this section to appear at a subsequent meeting of the interim committee along with a representative of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services, the agency shall promptly notify the department of the request. The notification to the department must be in writing, and must include a copy of the determinations made by the Legislative Counsel and a copy of any written response made by the state agency to the determinations.
