Hemp License Requirement - UPDATE

6/28/2024 12:03:30 AM +00:00

Clarification: Marijuana licensees are exempt from the hemp vendor licensed described in the previous email. No action is required for a marijuana licensee to comply with this new requirement. OLCC licensees must continue to comply with OLCC requirements around the sale, distribution, and receipt of hemp items.

Starting July 1, 2024:  

In Oregon, any hemp retailers or wholesalers who store, transfer, or sell industrial hemp or hemp items for resale to another person must get a hemp vendor license from the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), as per OAR 603-048-0175.  The vendor license costs $100 per year and is valid from July 1 – June 30. This schedule aligns with ODA’s Food Safety and Weights and Measures licensing cycle, making it easier for customers who need multiple licenses to do business with ODA.

Public Rule Hearing Limited Marijuana Tax Compliance Extension

6/4/2024 11:00:04 AM +00:00

• Public Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

In 2023, the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) and Department of Revenue (DOR) were directed by Governor Kotek to take steps to require proof of tax compliance for marijuana retailers as part of the renewal, change of ownership, addition of license holders, and/or new licensure process. Since that time, the OLCC has encountered a subset of licensees that have extenuating circumstances preventing them from obtaining certificates of tax compliance within the timeframes currently allowed in rule. Licensees may be facing deaths in the family, pending legal actions, or other technical/paperwork delays beyond their control, but are otherwise able to demonstrate an acceptable level of tax compliance.

In response to these situations, the OLCC passed a temporary rule to grant relief only in specific situations where the licensee is in compliance with marijuana taxes and diligently trying to obtain a certificate of compliance while working through other tax issues. These amendments temporarily provided the OLCC flexibility to allow additional time that will prevent the unnecessary closing of an otherwise compliant businesses. A licensee applying for an extension would need to meet specific requirements and provide proof that they are working to obtain their certificate of compliance. The OLCC is not anticipating granting such extensions frequently and intends to continue requiring strict compliance in most cases, but needs the flexibility to allow for case-by-case circumstances, given that the process creates unique situations for individual licensees. This rulemaking makes the temporary rules permanent, with some minor changes.

OLCC TAX on RACs

5/15/2024 4:48:53 PM +00:00

May 21, 2024
10:00 am – 12:00 pm
*Meeting Held Virtually*

In May 2023, Governor Kotek directed the OLCC and DOR to immediately take steps to require proof of tax compliance for marijuana retailers as part of the renewal, change of ownership, addition of license holders, and/or new licensure process. Requiring proof of tax compliance before such licensing actions may be approved will ensure only those up to date on tax obligations or making timely payments under a Department of Revenue-approved payment plan, will be permitted to operate in the cannabis industry.

Certificates of tax compliance are required from every licensee of a Retailer license as part of renewal requirements. A Retailer may file for renewal and be granted temporary authority to operated past their expiration date for up to 90 days after their expiration date, but their renewal will be considered incomplete and the license to be expired if the Commission has not received all required documentation by that time. This action would permanently adopt the temporary rule filed June 16, 2023 (OLCC 4-2023), allowing the Commission to consider and grant additional extensions of this timeframe when certain conditions are met.
