Chapter 192 - Records; Public Reports and Meetings
Section 192.836 - Use of substitute address; waiver of requirement.

(b) A public body is not responsible for requesting that departments, divisions, affiliates or other organizational units of the public body or other public bodies use the substitute address as the address of the program participant.
(c) Unless requested by the program participant, when the actual address of a program participant is contained in a public record that is filed with the public body, the public body is not responsible for modifying the public record to contain the substitute address designated by the Attorney General.
(d) The Attorney General is not responsible for making requests under this subsection.
(2) Except as provided in this section and ORS 192.842, when a program participant submits a current and valid Address Confidentiality Program authorization card to a public body, the public body shall accept the substitute address on the authorization card as the address of the program participant when creating a new public record. Upon the request of the program participant, the public body shall use the substitute address on the authorization card in any ongoing actions or proceedings.
(3) A public body may request a waiver from the requirements of the Address Confidentiality Program by submitting a waiver request to the Attorney General. The waiver request shall be in writing and include:
(a) An explanation of why the public body cannot meet its statutory or administrative obligations by possessing or using the substitute address; and
(b) An affirmation that if the Attorney General accepts the waiver, the public body will only use the actual address of the program participant for those statutory or administrative purposes included in the waiver request.
(4) The Attorney General shall accept or deny a waiver request from a public body in writing and include a statement of specific reasons for acceptance or denial. An acceptance or denial made under this subsection is not considered an order as defined in ORS 183.310 and is not subject to judicial review under ORS 183.480.
(5) Except as provided in ORS 192.820 to 192.868, if a law or rule requires the use of a residence address, the substitute address may be used instead. [2005 c.821 §7; 2007 c.542 §2]
