OLCC Makes Rule Updates Regarding Delivery of Alcoholic Beverages Direct to a Consumer
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission has made changes to the delivery of alcohol, including new permitting and education requirements for companies and employees.
6/24/2024
Oregon – Official Release: The shipment of alcohol directly to consumers has been a licensed privilege since the creation of the 1933 Liquor Control Act. Since the advent of that legislation, the Legislature has continued to expand that privilege for licensees by making modifications to the statute.
Over the past several years, OLCC staff have worked with Oregon Legislature, industry and public health partners to implement HB 3308 (2023) and HB 4138 (2024) which required both permitting and education requirements for companies and employees that provide the delivery of alcoholic beverages. In response to this legislation, OLCC implemented temporary rules this past fall so that regulations would be in place while permanent rules and underlying processes were developed.
This rules package permanently implements the temporary rules and adds the delivery permitting fee that was established this past session in HB 4138. As a part of its public safety mission, the OLCC has begun monitoring deliveries with minor decoy operations and plans to assess the outcome of those operations with industry. This may result in further rulemaking and industry education.
