OLCC Rule Change
For Service Permit
Applicants, April 1
Beginning A p ril 1, applicants for
Oregon Liq uo r C ontrol Com m ission
service permits w ill have 90 days in
which to complete the alcohol server
education course required by state law.
“ This amendment to the O L C C ’s
server education rule represents a ma­
jo r change fo r bartenders, servers,
managers and licensees who apply fo r
the license that allow s them to serve
and sell alcoholic drinks, “ said Lee
Coleman, director o f O LC C Regulator
Process.
“ No extensions w ill be granted for
applicants who have not completed the
education requirement w ithin 90 days,”
she said. “ I f the applicant does not suc­
cessfully complete server education
w ithin the tim e period, the commission
w ill deny the service perm it applica­
tio n.”
Coleman explained that before April
1 service perm it applicants had only 45
days after signing the application to
attend the alcohol Server Education course
and pass a w ritten test. “ A lthough we
have doubled the time lim it fo r com plet­
ing the course, we w ill not be granting
extensions as we did in the past,” she
said. “ Applicants may begin serving
alcohol after com pleting the application
and paying the $23 fee just as always,”
Coleman pointed o u t
There are more than 87,000 servers,
bartenders and liquor licensees who have
O LC C service permits, which must be
renewed every five years. In 1987, the
Oregon Legislature mandated that serv­
ice permit applicants complete an alco­
hol server education course and pass a
written exam before receiving the OLCC
license.
Coleman said more than 60,000 new
and renewing service permittees have
successfully completed the education
course since the law was enacted. Server
education courses are offered by 18 p ri­
vate providers in the state.

Mitsubishi Agrees to Refund Consumers
Attorney General Dave Frohnmayer
announced that approximately 3,500
Oregonians who purchased certain
M itsubishi or M GA-brand televisions
in 1988 may be eligible for as much as
$130,000 in refunds. A ll 50 states and
the D istrict o f Colum bia reached a set­
tlement w ith M itsubishi Electronics
America, Inc., regarding alleged price
fixin g violations o f antitrust laws.
“ M itsubishi has agreed to refund
$7.95 m illio n to consumers as a result
o f this settlement,” Frohnmayer said.
“ We expect e ligible Oregonians to
receive refunds ranging between $20 to
$54. This case again underscores the
importance o f an open and com petitive
marketplace where retailers can set their
own prices and consumers can shop for
the best buy.”
Frohnmayer said Oregon joined
?
the other p la in tiffs in a law suit alleging
that M itsubishi enlisted electronics
retailers in a nationwide conspiracy to
fix retail prices and elim inate discount
prices on certain television, models.
The complaint and settlement agree­
ment were file d today in U.S. D istrict
C ourt in Baltim ore, M aryland. M itsub­
ishi did not adm it any law violations in
the settlem ent
Television sets involved in the set­
tlement arc models CS1345, CS1945,
CS2O45, CS2O13, CS2014. CS2054.
CS2653, and CS2654. Oregonians who
purchased one o f the 242,654 units sold
in the United States during calendar
year 1988 arc entitled to refunds.
Oregonians who fille d out war­
ranty cards fo r these televisions pur­
chased during 1988 automatically qual­
ify fo r refunds and w ill receive their
refunds directly from the settlement
administrator. Other consumers who
can be identified from M itsubishi sales
records w ill be notified but must return
claim forms establishing e lig ib ility .
Other Oregon consumers wishing
to file claims should call the Depart­
ment o f Justice Consumer Hotline, 378-
4320 between 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. week­
days. C laim form s w ill be mailed as
soon as the court approves the settle­
ment. Claim inform ation also w ill be
published in newspapers throughout Ore­
gon.
According to the states ’ com plaint,
M itsubishi threatened to terminate
dealers who sold certain M itsubishi or
M G A televisions at less than the manu­
facture suggested retail price. This action
w ould violate state and federal anti­
trust laws.
