By decreasing the per case amount, the City retains the additional $15 per <br />conviction. The result would be an increase in revenue. The bill goes further to <br />reprioritize the distribution priority of fines collected from citations; making the City the <br />same priority as the State. However, the $45 will still need to be paid first as provided in <br />ORS 153.633. <br />HB 2008 <br />Relating Clause: Relating to addressing the impacts of alcoholic beverages; declaring an emergency. <br />Title:Allows city to order temporary cessation of alcoholic beverage sales or other operations <br />at premises licensed for full or limited on-premises sales or as brewery-public house upon <br />reasonable belief that continued sales or operation are immediate threat to public safety. <br /> Allows Oregon Liquor Control Commission to place restrictions on activities at licensed <br />premises if commission has grounds to believe certain conditions exist.
