Statutes are laws which have been enacted by a vote of the legislature. Any modifications made to a statute also requires the approval of the legislature. The Oregon Board of Pharmacy has the responsibility for implementing and regulating Chapters 475 and 689 of the Oregon Statutes. Rules , on the other hand, are written by the Board of Pharmacy. Rules are required to be supported by a statute.
Rules typically are less general and more specific to a particular situation.
All Oregon pharmacy rules are found in Chapter 855. Chapter 855 is subdivided into 16 divisions which are categorized by subject. Below is a list of each division by title, which can be accessed by double clicking on the name. Division 41 is by far the largest and most pertinent to the practice of pharmacy. Because of it size it has been further subdivided on another page.
