Important Changes on the Way for Businesses that Hold On-Premises Liquor Licenses
Starting March 31st, 2025, these businesses will have to have an alcohol service permit or designate an individual to hold a service permit.
In 2024, the Oregon Legislature passed HB 4138 and updated the rules regarding on-premises liquor licenses. Previously, these licensees only needed to have taken their server education class and passed the test every five years. The businesses’ on-premises license would instead serve as their service permit if they did not have one.
Starting March 31st, this option will no longer be available.
On-premises licensees must now have a service permit or designate an individual to maintain a service permit. Temporary Service Permits, also established by HB 4138, will meet this requirement.
Once updated in CAMP, licensees will be notified via email when their service permit designee's permit will expire. For questions about this change, please contact
