Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1. ORS 339.430 is amended to read:
  339.430. (1) Voluntary organizations that desire to administer
interscholastic activities shall apply to the State Board of
Education for approval. The state board shall review the rules
and bylaws of the voluntary organization to determine that they
do not conflict with state law or rules of the state board.  If
an organization meets the standards established under ORS 326.051
and its rules and bylaws do not conflict with state law or rules
of the state board, the state board shall approve the
organization. An approved voluntary organization is qualified to
administer interscholastic activities.
  (2) The state board may suspend or revoke its approval if an
approved organization is found to have violated state law or
rules of the state board. If an organization is not approved or
its approval is suspended or revoked, it may appeal the denial,
suspension or revocation as a contested case under ORS 183.310 to
183.550.
  (3) A voluntary organization's decisions concerning
interscholastic activities may be appealed to the state board,
which may hear the matter or by rule may delegate authority to a
hearings officer to   { - hear the matter - }   { + hold a
hearing + } and enter a final order   { - pursuant to ORS 183.464
(1) - }  { +  under ORS 183.310 to 183.550 + }. Such decisions
may be appealed under ORS   { - 183.484 - }  { +  183.482 + }.
  SECTION 2.  { + The amendments to ORS 339.430 by section 1 of
this 2001 Act apply to decisions for which a final order is
entered on or after the effective date of this 2001 Act. + }
