PRESS RELEASE - The Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) has announced a notice of public hearing to hear from interested parties on its proposed Harvest Notification rule.
The hearing will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 15, at the OLCC, located at 9079 SE McLoughlin Blvd., Portland, OR 97222. Bryant Haley will be the presiding officer.
The Commission is tasked with regulating the recreational market. One key task of regulation is to prevent diversion of marijuana into other markets. Staff has identified harvest as an opportunity for diversion and is seeking to adopt a notification requirement for outdoor growers. This would require outdoor growers to notify the Commission of five harvest dates 24-hours before the first planned harvest date. This notification will allow enforcement staff ample opportunity to monitor harvests and ensure compliance with pertinent laws and rules.
After the hearing, you may submit written comments in person, by mail, by fax or by e-mail (see above for relevant contact information). However, all written comments must be received by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, June 29, 2018.
