Statute Text
Sale
of liquor by certain employees 18 years of age or older; minimum age
requirements.
(1)
Any employee 18 years of age or older of a person who holds an off-premises
sales license from the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission may sell any
alcoholic liquor authorized by such license on the licensed premises.
(2) Any employee
18 years of age or older of a person who holds a wholesale malt beverage and
wine license from the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission may assist the
licensee in the delivery of any alcoholic liquor authorized by such license.
(3) During any
inspection of a licensed premises, the commission may require proof that a
person performing work at the premises meets any applicable minimum age
requirement created under this chapter or under commission rules. If the person
does not provide the commission with acceptable proof of age upon request, the
commission may require the person to immediately cease any activity that is
subject to a minimum age requirement until the commission receives acceptable
proof of age. If the activity is the sole lawful basis for the person to be
present on the premises, the commission may require that the person leave the
premises. This subsection does not apply to a person temporarily at the
premises to make a service, maintenance or repair call, to make a delivery or
for other purposes independent of the premises operations.
(4) If a person
performing work that is subject to a minimum age requirement has not provided
proof of age requested by the commission under subsection (3) of this section,
the commission may request that the licensee or a manager of the premises
provide proof that the person meets any applicable minimum age requirement
created under this chapter or under commission rules. Failure of the licensee
or manager to respond to a request made under this subsection by providing
acceptable proof of age for a person is prima facie evidence that the licensee
has allowed the person to perform work at the licensed premises in violation of
a minimum age requirement. [1971 c.490 §1; 1985 c.378 §2; 1999 c.351 §34; 2011
