Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the State Board of Pharmacy shall adopt rules to classify ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and phenylpropanolamine as Schedule III controlled substances. The Schedule III classification may be modified by the State Board of Pharmacy if the State Board of Pharmacy finds that restrictions on products containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine under a Schedule III designation do not significantly reduce the number of methamphetamine laboratories within the state.

(b) Records of transactions involving products containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine are subject to inspection by the State Board of Pharmacy and law enforcement agencies. A person required to make or maintain records of transactions involving products containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or phenylpropanolamine shall forward the records to the Department of State Police if directed to do so by the department. Failure to forward records as required by this paragraph is a Class A misdemeanor.

(2) This section does not apply to products that the State Board of Pharmacy, upon application of a manufacturer, exempts by rule because the product is formulated to effectively prevent conversion of the active ingredient into methamphetamine or its salts or precursors. Upon notification from the Department of State Police that the department has probable cause to believe that a product exempted under this subsection does not effectively prevent conversion of the active ingredient into methamphetamine or its salts or precursors, the State Board of Pharmacy may issue an emergency rule revoking the exemption for the product pending a full hearing.

ORS § 471.230 — OR Code / Title 37 / Chapter 471 / Section 471.230
471.230 Distillery license
Status: in_force

(1) A distillery license allows the licensee to import, manufacture, distill, rectify, blend, denature and store distilled liquor, to sell the distilled liquor to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission and to transport the distilled liquor out of this state for sale outside this state. Distillery licensees may purchase and sell distilled liquor from or to another distillery licensee in containers having a capacity greater than one U.S. gallon for blending and manufacturing purposes. A distillery licensee may not sell any alcoholic beverage within this state except to the commission or as provided in this section. However, any agricultural producer or association of agricultural producers or the legal agents of an agricultural producer or association of agricultural producers that manufactures and converts agricultural surpluses, by-products and wastes into denatured ethyl and industrial alcohol for use in the arts and industry are not required to obtain a license from the commission.

(2) If a distillery licensee holds a valid distilled spirits plant basic permit issued by the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for the licensed premises, the distillery licensee may:

(a) Permit tastings of distilled liquor approved by the commission for sale in Oregon and manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee or by another distillery licensee. Tastings may be of the distilled liquor alone or with a mix of other liquids. If any of the other liquids are distilled liquors, they must be distilled liquors on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and must be purchased by the licensee at the retail price established by the commission. This paragraph does not authorize sales by the drink of distilled liquor. The tastings may be conducted on the licensed premises of the distillery and at no more than five other premises owned or leased by the licensee. The commission may allow more than one distillery licensee to use the same premises at the same time for conducting tastings if the premises are a primary production location and the licensees share the premises or are owned by the same entity. If the manufacturer of the distilled liquor obtains distilled liquor for conducting tastings from the inventory of the commission, the licensee shall pay the commission a processing fee.

(b) Obtain a special events distillery license.

(c) Apply for appointment by the commission as a distillery retail outlet agent for purposes of retailing distilled liquor at locations where tastings are permitted under paragraph (a) of this subsection or subsection (4)(a) of this section. A distillery retail outlet agent may sell at locations where tastings are allowed under paragraph (a) of this subsection only distilled liquor that is on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and is manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee or by another distillery licensee that uses the same premises as a primary production location or is owned by the same entity as the distillery licensee.

(3) Notwithstanding ORS 471.392 (Definitions for ORS 471.392 to 471.400) to 471.400 (Exceptions to prohibition of financial assistance) , a distillery licensee may hold one or more full on-premises sales licenses. All distilled liquor sold under a full on-premises sales license must be purchased from the commission.

(4) A distillery licensee that holds a special events distillery license may conduct an event on premises designated in the special events distillery license. Except as provided in this subsection, a special events distillery license may be valid for a period not exceeding five days. The commission shall limit the approval of special events distillery licenses for a distillery licensee at the same location to not more than 62 days during a calendar year. A distillery licensee conducting a special event may:

(a) Permit tastings of distilled liquor approved by the commission for sale in Oregon and manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee. Tastings may be of the distilled liquor alone or with a mix of other liquids. If any of the other liquids are distilled liquors, they must be distilled liquors on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and must be purchased by the licensee at the retail price established by the commission. If the manufacturer of the distilled liquor obtains distilled liquor for conducting tastings from the inventory of the commission, the licensee shall pay the commission a processing fee.

(b) Permit sales by the drink of distilled liquor. A drink that a distillery licensee sells under this paragraph must include distilled liquor that the licensee manufactured in Oregon. Any distilled liquor contained in the drink must be on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon. The distillery licensee selling the drink must purchase all distilled liquor contained in the drink at the retail price set by the commission for the month in which the drink is sold.

(c) If the distillery licensee has been appointed as a distillery retail outlet agent under subsection (2)(c) of this section, sell distilled liquor in factory-sealed containers for consumption off the licensed premises.

See section 4, chapter 649, Oregon Laws 2021. The text that is operative on and after January 2, 2028, is set forth for the user’s convenience.

471.230 (Distillery license) . (1) A distillery license allows the licensee to import, manufacture, distill, rectify, blend, denature and store distilled liquor, to sell the distilled liquor to the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission and to transport the distilled liquor out of this state for sale outside this state. Distillery licensees may purchase and sell distilled liquor from or to another distillery licensee in containers having a capacity greater than one U.S. gallon for blending and manufacturing purposes. A distillery licensee may not sell any alcoholic beverage within this state except to the commission or as provided in this section. However, any agricultural producer or association of agricultural producers or the legal agents of an agricultural producer or association of agricultural producers that manufactures and converts agricultural surpluses, by-products and wastes into denatured ethyl and industrial alcohol for use in the arts and industry are not required to obtain a license from the commission.

(2) If a distillery licensee holds a valid distilled spirits plant basic permit issued by the federal Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for the licensed premises, the distillery licensee may:

(a) Permit tastings of distilled liquor approved by the commission for sale in Oregon and manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee or by another distillery licensee. Tastings may be of the distilled liquor alone or with a mix of other liquids. If any of the other liquids are distilled liquors, they must be distilled liquors on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and must be purchased by the licensee at the retail price established by the commission. This paragraph does not authorize sales by the drink of distilled liquor. The tastings may be conducted on the licensed premises of the distillery and at no more than five other premises owned or leased by the licensee. The commission may allow more than one distillery licensee to use the same premises at the same time for conducting tastings if the premises are a primary production location and the licensees share the premises or are owned by the same entity. If the manufacturer of the distilled liquor obtains distilled liquor for conducting tastings from the inventory of the commission, the licensee shall pay the commission a processing fee.

(b) Obtain a special events distillery license.

(c) Apply for appointment by the commission as a distillery retail outlet agent for purposes of retailing distilled liquor at locations where tastings are permitted under paragraph (a) of this subsection or subsection (4)(a) of this section. A distillery retail outlet agent may sell at locations where tastings are allowed under paragraph (a) of this subsection only distilled liquor that is on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and is manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee or by another distillery licensee that uses the same premises as a primary production location or is owned by the same entity as the distillery licensee.

(3) Notwithstanding ORS 471.392 (Definitions for ORS 471.392 to 471.400) to 471.400 (Exceptions to prohibition of financial assistance) , a distillery licensee may hold one or more full on-premises sales licenses. All distilled liquor sold under a full on-premises sales license must be purchased from the commission.

(4) A distillery licensee that holds a special events distillery license may conduct an event on premises designated in the special events distillery license. Except as provided in this subsection, a special events distillery license may be valid for a period not exceeding five days. The commission shall limit the approval of special events distillery licenses for a distillery licensee at the same location to not more than 62 days during a calendar year. A distillery licensee conducting a special event may:

(a) Permit tastings of distilled liquor approved by the commission for sale in Oregon and manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee. Tastings may be of the distilled liquor alone or with a mix of other liquids. If any of the other liquids are distilled liquors, they must be distilled liquors on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and must be purchased by the licensee at the retail price established by the commission. If the manufacturer of the distilled liquor obtains distilled liquor for conducting tastings from the inventory of the commission, the licensee shall pay the commission a processing fee.

(b) Permit sales by the drink of distilled liquor. A drink that a distillery licensee sells under this paragraph must include distilled liquor that the licensee manufactured in Oregon. Any distilled liquor contained in the drink must be on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon. The distillery licensee selling the drink must purchase all distilled liquor contained in the drink at the retail price set by the commission for the month in which the drink is sold.

(c) If the distillery licensee has been appointed as a distillery retail outlet agent under subsection (2)(c) of this section, sell distilled liquor in factory-sealed containers for consumption off the licensed premises. A distillery retail outlet agent may sell at a location where tastings are allowed under paragraph (a) of this subsection only distilled liquor that is on the list of products approved by the commission for retail sale in Oregon and is manufactured in Oregon by the distillery licensee. The distillery retail outlet agent must sell the distilled liquor at the retail price set by the commission for the month of sale.
