<br /> <br />criteria <br />In 1988, the Attorney General issued an opinion stating that OLCC licensing criterion <br />concerning a local governing body endorsement was invalid, that by giving presumptive effect to <br />adverse local government recommendations, the Commission was delegating its licensing <br />authority to local governments unlawfully. The OLCC deleted the language and current language <br />now states: “Local government, other government agencies, organizations, facilities or <br />individuals may give the Commission reliable factual information concerning whether there is a <br />basis to grant or deny a license or to impose license restrictions . . . .” <br /> <br />Creating (or re-establishing) a presumption against a license when an unfavorable <br />recommendation is forwarded by a local jurisdiction should be pursed. Such a change in the <br />statutes would allow local governing bodies a greater role in the licensing process. Local <br />recommendations would carry greater weight, while OLCC would play more of a reviewing role <br />criteria <br />and would maintain statewide criterion , thus maintaining consistency in licensing matters <br />across the state. <br /> <br />By applying a local government recommendation as a presumption, more of a burden would be <br />placed on the licensee to show good cause to overcome the recommendation. The local <br />government recommendation would be based on a set of conclusions applying the criterion <br />criteria <br />developed by the OLCC, to the facts, as determined by the local government. <br /> <br /> Recommendation: <br /> <br />1. Support legislation providing local governments with presumptive effect regarding the <br />issuance of liquor licenses. <br /> <br /> <br />E. LIBRARY <br /> <br /> <br /> 1.
