As of this Thursday, December 5th, Ballot Measure 119 requires all OLCC licensed retailers, processors and labs to supply a signed labor peace settlement (LPA) with a bona fide labor group, to resume or apply for an OLCC license.
Within the completely avoidable, unduly compressed timeline since BM 119 handed, we now have been advising our Oregon hashish purchasers to resume their license functions forward of the December 5th deadline if attainable. Similar deal for brand new candidates– get all the pieces in earlier than the deadline. It will permit qualifying companies to keep away from the LPA difficulty for one more yr (or possibly without end, if the courts get ahold of BM 119).
OLCC marijuana licensees are required to resume their licenses yearly. Licensees are notified 90 days previous to their license expiration date that it’s time for license renewal. Based on my wizard paralegal, this discover routinely posts in CAMP, which is the OLCC’s on-line licensing software program. Particularly, a licensee will obtain an “Actions Required” notification on their dashboard.
OLCC has confirmed that licenses set to run out after December 5th, is not going to require an LPA submission till the next yr’s renewal, offered that the license has been renewed previous to the December 5th deadline. Similar take care of any new license applicant. To that time, OLCC’s most up-to-date BM 119 Bulletin is here. It solutions some primary questions and accommodates no surprises.
OLCC additionally just lately revealed its Labor Peace Agreement Attestation Form. It is a kind that candidates might submit in lieu of really submitting their LPA with the Fee. Any person requested me what the repercussions is likely to be in the event that they had been to submit this manner with out having a signed LPA in place. The quick reply is “don’t try this.” The longer reply is that there are lots of administrative guidelines coping with “false statements”, “materials false statements” and the submission of “false or deceptive data” to OLCC. License revocation or non-renewal is an actual chance there.
For extra data on this matter, the Hashish Business Alliance of Oregon has a information here, and has been sending out useful emails on its listserv (you possibly can join these here). The related OLCC supplies are linked above, and I’ll present hyperlinks to our earlier posts on this matter just under. For now, get these license renewals and functions in!
