Summary

The bill changes Oregon's rules for criminal background checks on caregivers, setting a standard three‑year validity and allowing the check to move with the worker to a new employer or care setting. It also requires coordinated care organizations to reimburse contracted behavioral health providers back to the date they enrolled in Medicaid and bans extra credentialing when a provider changes jobs. These changes aim to reduce administrative burdens while keeping vulnerable populations safe.
