Or. Admin. R. 150-323-0380 - Other Tobacco Product (OTP) Distributor License Application Denial
(1) Any person
engaging or seeking to engage in the sale of other tobacco products as a
distributor, as defined in ORS
323.500(6),
must obtain an OTP distributor's license. A distributor must obtain a license
for each place of business at which the distributor engages in the sale of
other tobacco products.
(2) The
Department of Revenue may deny a license application if there is false or
incomplete information on the application or if the department determines that
the applicant will not comply with the provisions of ORS
323.500 to
323.640. When deciding whether
to issue or deny a distributor's license, the department may consider, but is
not limited to, the following factors:
(a)
Whether the applicant has previously failed to pay a tobacco related tax or any
other tax administered by the Oregon Department of Revenue;
(b) Whether the applicant has engaged in
conduct punishable as a crime under ORS Chapter 323 or any other state's or
federal tobacco laws;
(c) Whether
the applicant has violated any part of ORS Chapter 323 or any rule adopted
under that chapter.
(3)
If the applicant is other than an individual, the department will apply the
factors described in subsection (1) both to the applicant and, if the applicant
is an organization, to the individual(s) within the organization with the
primary responsibility for the payment of the tobacco taxes on behalf of the
applicant;
(4) If the department
denies a license application, the distributor has 30 calendar days from the
date of denial to file an appeal in the manner provided in ORS
305.404 to
305.560.
