Governor Kate Brown is planning to sign into law Oregon Senate Bill 1801 which will allow many Oregon bars and restaurants to sell alcohol “drinks-to-go.” On Tuesday, December 22, 2020 the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) held a special commission meeting in order to enact temporary rules that align with the drinks-to-go legislation.
The legislature approved SB 1801 as part of a package of economic relief measures it took up during a one-day special legislative session on Monday, December 21, 2020. Under the new law, OLCC licensees with full on-premises sales licenses (F-COM) will be allowed to sell and deliver mixed alcohol drinks or individual servings of wine in sealed containers for off-premises consumption.
