A legal challenge to Ballot Measure 119 (described in more detail below) was filed by two OLCC licensees in February of 2025. On May 20, 2025, federal district court judge Simon issued a ruling declaring that Measure 119 was preempted by the federal National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), and that the Measure infringes on free speech rights.
Therefore, effective immediately the Commission will no longer require as part of a new or renewal application for the license types that were subject to Measure 119, a signed labor peace agreement (LPA) between an applicant and a bona fide labor organization, or an attestation signed by the applicant and bona fide labor organization stating that the applicant and the bona fide labor organization have entered and will abide by the terms of a labor peace agreement.
OLCC will be processing pending renewals if the only missing information was an LPA or an LPA related attestation.
