Or. Admin. R. 847-071-0020 – Qualifications

(1) An applicant for registration as a five-needle protocol (5NP) technician must:
1. (a) Be at least 18 years of age;
2. (b) Have successfully completed a training program as described in OAR 847-071-0025. If the program was completed more than ten years before the date of application the applicant must demonstrate current competency through relevant courses or 5NP treatments; and
3. (c) Have good moral character as those traits would relate to the applicant's ability to provide 5NP treatments. Substance use disorder in remission, mental health conditions, or other lived experiences alone are not a reflection of current moral character.
(2) Criminal history is not an automatic disqualification for registration. The Board evaluates each applicant's background and experience and will consider additional information provided by the applicant.
(3) No applicant is entitled to registration who:
1. (a) Has had a registration, license, or certificate in a health-related field revoked or suspended unless the registration, license, or certificate has been restored or reinstated and the applicant is in good standing in the state which previously revoked the registration, license, or certificate;
2. (b) Has been refused a registration, license, or certificate in a health-related field on any grounds other than failure of a licensure examination; or
3. (c) Has been guilty of conduct similar to that which would be prohibited by or to which ORS 677.190 would apply.
