Grievance & Discrimination Complaint Rule Changes

The Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) will be adopting updates to Division 006 (Discrimination Complaint Review System) and

Division 109 (Grievance Review System). The adoption date is tentatively set for the week of October 13, 2019. These changes are designed to provide both Staff and Adults in Custody (AIC) with a better and more meaningful process to address issues as they arise.

Below is a brief description of some of the changes:

Permissible grievance issues have been simplified.

AICs are able to include multiple staff in a single grievance if those staff are directly involved in a single incident/issue. AICs will no

longer be required to submit a grievance for each involved staff.

Limits have been changed to a maximum of four total initial complaints submitted per month (includes both initial grievances and

discrimination complaints).

A limit of four active complaints at any one time has been added to the rules. An active complaint is defined as: An active grievance,

discrimination complaint, or appeal of either, that is awaiting a response or is within the available timelines for appeal or return for

correction.

AICs have 14 days from the date of incident to submit their initial complaint (both grievances and discrimination complaints).

DOC has 35 days to respond to initial grievances and appeals and 70 days to respond to initial discrimination complaints and appeals.

Once an AIC¡¯s request for resolution is granted, then DOC may, in its sole discretion, discontinue further processing of the grievance

and notify the AIC of the conclusion of the administrative review process.

If an AIC has filed a Notice of Tort Claim with the Oregon Department of Administrative Services while an AIC has an active complaint, and the primary remedy sought by the grievance is monetary relief, then DOC may, in its sole discretion, discontinue further

processing of the grievance and notify the AIC of the conclusion of the administrative review process.

The process for reporting and responding to PREA allegations through the grievance system has been modified and streamlined.
