Who are we?
The OLCC is the agency responsible for regulating the sale and service of alcoholic beverages, the production and sale of recreational marijuana, the tracking of Oregon Health Authority medical marijuana, and the tracking of industrial hemp products sold in OLCC retail stores. The agency is comprised of three major operational programs; the Distilled Spirits Program, the Marijuana Program, and the Public Safety Program. All three programs are supported by the Administration, Financial Services, and Support Services divisions. Revenue generated from these programs helps support state and local government programs. The OLCC’s Public Safety Program licenses and regulates businesses in the alcohol and marijuana industry such as manufacturers, bars, restaurants, retail outlets, grocery and convenience stores.
What will you do?
Ensure that qualified applicants receive liquor licenses by conducting a background investigation; educating, training and assisting applicants, licensees and the public in all aspects of liquor licensing – rules, statutes, policies and licensing standards, etc..
Licensing specialists use discretionary judgment to plan the scope and direction of investigations from receipt of the application or change through to completion/withdrawal/inactivation. Investigations include an analysis of the ownership, operation, management of the prospective business, the applicant's operating proposal, an analysis of the applicant's OLCC compliance history and business location (if previously licensed), an analysis of the impact of the proposed operation on the community, and a recommendation on granting, restricting, or denying the license.

Identify and apply relevant statutes, rules, case law, Attorney General Opinions and Commission policy to relevant facts. Analyze facts to determine eligibility and make a recommendation to grant or deny license. Evaluate floor plans and blue prints of proposed outlets. Analyze their sufficiency to meet OLCC operating requirements and the applicant's operating proposal. Works with Compliance to determine appropriate minor postings.
Write clear, complete reports that summarize investigative facts, evaluate and apply statutes, administrative rules and legal case precedent, and explain conclusion and recommendation. Testify on behalf of the Commission at administrative law hearings or in court trials.
Distribute license applications and instructing applicants in how to complete the forms. Determine appropriate fees and issue licenses and authorities to operate. Request refunds from finance for overpayment of license fees, with approval from management.
