Refreshments at roadside rest areas; rules. (1) The Travel Information Council shall establish by rule a permit program allowing nonprofit organizations to provide free cookies, coffee or other nonalcoholic beverages at roadside rest areas managed by the council pursuant to ORS 377.841. Cookies offered under the program must come from a licensed facility. Rules adopted under this section may not restrict the program to any particular days of the year.
