Or. Admin. Code § 845-025-8570 - Uniform Standards for Minor Decoy Operations

(1) Purpose. ORS 475C prevents anyone who has not reached 21 years of age from obtaining marijuana or marijuana items. It is the Commission's intention that decoy operations are to be an impartial test of a licensee's ability and willingness to obey laws on preventing sale marijuana or marijuana items to minors.

(2) Uniform standards for minors used in minor decoy operations:

(a) The minor must be under 21 years of age; and

(b) The minor may not use false identification; and

(c) The minor may not lie about their age.

(3) Uniform standards for coordination with law enforcement agencies. The Commission will coordinate with law enforcement agencies to ensure, to the greatest extent possible, that:

(a) Law enforcement agencies are informed of the Commission's uniform standards for minor decoy operations; and

(b) Law enforcement agencies provide the Commission with copies of their minor decoy policies.

(4) In order for the Commission to process violation cases in a timely manner, law enforcement agencies will be encouraged to provide the Commission with the results of any minor decoy operation.

(5) Licensees or any employee of a licensee must immediately return identification presented by the minor decoy upon request of law enforcement or an OLCC representative.
