*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.
