When the Governor declares a state of emergency under ORS 401.165 or a public health emergency under ORS 433.441, the Governor, as part of the declaration of emergency, may authorize members of the Oregon National Guard on state active duty or Title 32 orders to provide health care services in Oregon without being subject to the Oregon licensing requirements for health care providers, provided that each member is qualified by virtue of the member’s military duty position, training and qualifications to perform the same or similar functions as an Oregon licensed health care provider for the Armed Forces of the United States under either state or federal status. [2009 c.346 §1; 2013 c.81 §27]
