Suspended Licenses: Posting of Suspension Notice Sign, Activities Allowed During Suspension
(1)
Before 7:00 a.m. on the date a liquor license suspension goes into effect, and until the suspension is completed, Commission staff will ensure that a suspension notice sign is posted on each outside entrance or door to the licensed establishment. The suspension notice sign must be posted in a way that allows any person entering the premises to read it. Licensees must use the suspension notice sign provided by the Commission. The sign will state that the liquor license has been suspended by order of the Commission due to violation(s) of the alcoholic liquor laws (statute or administrative rule) of Oregon. If there are multiple liquor licenses at the location, the sign will specify which license privileges have been suspended.(2)
