Per
OAR 845-015-0138, the Oregon Liquor Control Commission will consider any written or verbal comments before implementing such a price increase.
Public Action:
The Commissioners of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission will accept written and verbal public comment on the proposed implementation of setting a minimum price. The proposal sets the price by proof and bottle (container) size using a consistent proof base value per container size. No distilled spirit bottle shall be sold for less than the established minimum price.
It is argued by some that the setting of minimum prices can contribute to decreased social harms and adverse health impacts.
