In 1933, Oregon’s Liquor Control Act became law and directed the OLCC to sell distilled spirits and to license businesses to sell beer and wine.Īgency name changes occur as their mission evolves however, it’s not common. At that time, America was laboring to rise out of the Great Depression and the world stage was being set for the start of World War II. The OLCC was originally created in 1933, in the wake of national alcohol prohibition being repealed by the adoption of the 21st amendment to the U.S. The agency will deplete its existing stock of paper documents branded with the agency’s old name and logo these items will be replenished with the new name and logo when existing supplies are exhausted.
Documents on the agency website will continue to be updated with the new OLCC logo. Exterior signage at OLCC headquarters and regional offices will gradually be brought up-to-date. The OLCC will make minor public facing adjustments to reflect the name change the modifications will have a minimal cost. Existing versions of these official documents continue to be valid with the agency’s previous name and logo, and will be replaced when the licensee or permit holder renews them. Newly issued alcohol and marijuana licenses, and alcohol server and marijuana worker permits, will be modified to include the new name and logo. “The cannabis industry in Oregon has become a billion dollar business and changing our agency name reflects our role in generating revenue to fund state programs.” “The industries we regulate matter, they matter a lot to the state of Oregon’s economy,” said Paul Rosenbaum, Chair of the Oregon Liquor & Cannabis Commission. While the change updates the agency’s name to better reflect its mission, the OLCC acronym will remain the same. This change comes five years after voters passed Measure 91 which directed the agency to establish a framework for regulating Oregon’s recreational marijuana marketplace.
Previously referred to as the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, the agency began regulating recreational marijuana after voters approved Measure 91 in November 2014. 2, the OLCC became the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission, dropping the word “Control” that had defined the agency’s original post-Prohibition mission.
