AI Summary
This bill establishes a new grant program through the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) to support the creation of full-service redemption centers in cities with populations over 10,000. A full-service redemption center, as defined in existing Oregon law, is a facility where consumers can return beverage containers for recycling and receive refunds. The bill requires the OLCC to develop rules for the grant program, including specifying the application process, eligibility criteria, grant amounts, and procedures to ensure proper use of the funds. To support this initiative, the bill appropriates $5 million from the General Fund for the 2025-2027 biennium specifically for awarding these grants. The legislation is designed to expand recycling infrastructure by helping cities establish new redemption centers, making it easier for residents to recycle beverage containers. The bill will take effect 91 days after the 2025 regular legislative session adjourns.
