  SECTION 3. ORS 461.300 is amended to read:
  461.300. (1) The Oregon State Lottery Commission shall adopt
rules specifying the terms and conditions for contracting with
lottery game retailers so as to provide adequate and convenient
availability of tickets or shares to prospective buyers of each
lottery game as appropriate for each such game. Nothing in this
subsection is intended to preclude the lottery from selling
tickets or shares directly to the public.
  (2)(a) The Director of the Oregon State Lottery shall, pursuant
to this chapter, and the rules of the commission, select as
lottery game retailers such persons as deemed to best serve the
public convenience and promote the sale of tickets or shares. A
person under the age of 18 may not be a lottery game retailer. In
the selection of a lottery game retailer, the director shall
consider factors such as financial responsibility, integrity,
reputation, accessibility of the place of business or activity to
the public, security of the premises, the sufficiency of existing
lottery game retailers for any particular lottery game to serve
the public convenience and the projected volume of sales for the
lottery game involved.
  (b) Except when the director recommends, and the commission
concludes, that it is reasonable and prudent to waive disclosure
requirements under this section and that to do so will not
jeopardize the fairness, integrity, security and honesty of the
lottery, prior to the execution of any contract with a lottery
game retailer, the lottery game retailer shall disclose to the
lottery the names and addresses of the following:
  (A) If the lottery game retailer is a corporation but not a
 { +  nonprofit + } private club as described in ORS 471.175, the
officers, each director who owns or controls three percent or
more of the voting stock and each stockholder who owns 10 percent
or more of the outstanding stock in such corporation.
  (B) If the lottery game retailer is a trust, the trustee and
all persons entitled to receive income or benefit from the trust.
  (C) If the lottery game retailer is an association but not a
 { +  nonprofit + } private club as described in ORS 471.175, the
members, officers and directors.
  (D) If the lottery game retailer is a subsidiary but not a
 { +  nonprofit + } private club as described in ORS 471.175, the
officers, each director who owns or controls three percent or
more of the voting stock and each stockholder who owns 10 percent
or more of the outstanding stock of the parent corporation
thereof.
  (E) If the lottery game retailer is a partnership, joint
venture or limited liability company, all of the general
partners, limited partners, joint venturers, members of a limited
liability company whose investment commitment or membership
interest is 10 percent or more, and managers of a limited
liability company.
  (F) If the parent company, general partner, limited partner,
joint venturer, stockholder, member or manager of a limited
liability company is itself a corporation, trust, association,
subsidiary, partnership, joint venture or limited liability
company, then the director may require that all of the
information required by this paragraph be disclosed for such
other entity as if it were itself a lottery game retailer to the
end that full disclosure of ultimate ownership be achieved.

Enrolled Senate Bill 1039 (SB 1039-INTRO)                  Page 4

  (G) If any member, 18 years of age or older, of the immediate
family of any video lottery game retailer, or any member, 18
years of age or older, of the immediate family of any individual
whose name is required to be disclosed under this paragraph, is
involved in the video lottery game retailer's business in any
capacity, then all of the information required in this paragraph
shall be disclosed for such immediate family member as if the
family member were a video lottery game retailer.
  (H) If any immediate family member, 18 years of age or older,
of any lottery game retailer, other than a video lottery game
retailer, or of any person whose name is required to be disclosed
under this paragraph is involved in the lottery game retailer's
business in any capacity, then the lottery game retailer shall
identify the immediate family member to the Oregon State Lottery,
and shall report the capacity in which the immediate family
member is involved in the lottery game retailer's business if
requested by the director. Full disclosure of immediate family
members working in the business may be required only if the
director has just cause for believing the immediate family member
may be a threat to the fairness, integrity, security or honesty
of the lottery.
  (I) If the lottery game retailer is a  { + nonprofit + }
private club as described in ORS 471.175, the treasurer,
officers, directors and trustees who oversee or direct the
operation of the food, beverage, lottery or other
gambling-related activities of the  { +  nonprofit + } private
club and each manager in charge of the food, beverage, lottery or
other gambling-related activities of the  { +  nonprofit + }
private club.
  (J) Any other person required by rule of the commission.
  (c) Any person required to disclose information under paragraph
(b) of this subsection shall disclose additional information for
retail contract approval that the director determines to be
appropriate.
  (d) The commission may refuse to grant a lottery game retail
contract to any lottery game retailer or any natural person whose
name is required to be disclosed under paragraph (b) of this
subsection, who has been convicted of violating any of the
gambling laws of this state, general or local, or has been
convicted at any time of any crime. The lottery may require
payment by each lottery game retailer to the lottery of an
initial nonrefundable application fee or an annual fee, or both,
to maintain the contract to be a lottery game retailer.
  (e) A person who is a lottery game retailer may not be engaged
exclusively in the business of selling lottery tickets or shares.
A person lawfully engaged in nongovernmental business on state or
political subdivision property or an owner or lessee of premises
which lawfully sells alcoholic beverages may be selected as a
lottery game retailer. State agencies, except for the state
lottery, political subdivisions or their agencies or departments
may not be selected as a lottery game retailer. The director may
contract with lottery game retailers on a permanent, seasonal or
temporary basis.
  (3) The authority to act as a lottery game retailer is not
assignable or transferable.
  (4) The director may terminate a contract with a lottery game
retailer based on the grounds for termination included in the
contract or commission rules governing the contract. The grounds
for termination must include, but are not limited to, the knowing
sale of lottery tickets or shares to any person under the age of

Enrolled Senate Bill 1039 (SB 1039-INTRO)                  Page 5

18 years or knowingly permitting a person under the age of 21
years to operate a video lottery game terminal.
  (5) Notwithstanding subsection (4) of this section, when a
lottery game retail contract requires the lottery game retailer
to maintain a minimum weekly sales average, the lottery game
retailer may avoid termination of the contract for failure to
meet the minimum weekly sales average by agreeing, prior to
termination, to pay the state lottery the difference between the
actual weekly cost incurred by the lottery to maintain the
contract and the weekly proceeds that are collected by the
lottery from the sales of that lottery game retailer, less
expenses that are dedicated by statute, rule or contract to other
purposes. The director may not terminate the contract of a
lottery game retailer for failure to meet a minimum weekly sales
average unless the director first allows the lottery game
retailer an opportunity to make the payment described in this
subsection.
  (6) The commission shall adopt by rule an alternative dispute
resolution process for disputes arising from a contract with a
lottery game retailer that must be included in every contract
between the commission and lottery game retailers. The commission
shall develop the dispute resolution process required by this
section in conformity with ORS 183.502.
  SECTION 4. ORS 471.311 is amended to read:
  471.311. (1) Any person desiring a license or renewal of a
license under this chapter shall make application to the Oregon
Liquor Control Commission upon forms to be furnished by the
commission showing the name and address of the applicant,
location of the place of business that is to be operated under
the license, and such other pertinent information as the
commission may require. No license shall be granted or renewed
until the applicant has complied with the provisions of this
chapter and the rules of the commission.
  (2) The commission may reject any application that is not
submitted in the form required by rule. The commission shall give
applicants an opportunity to be heard if an application is
rejected. A hearing under this subsection is not subject to the
requirements for contested case proceedings under ORS chapter
183.
  (3) Subject to subsection (4) of this section, the commission
shall assess a nonrefundable fee for processing a renewal
application for any license authorized by this chapter only if
the renewal application is received by the commission less than
20 days before expiration of the license. If the renewal
application is received prior to expiration of the license but
less than 20 days prior to expiration, this fee shall be 25
percent of the annual license fee. If a renewal application is
received by the commission after expiration of the license but no
more than 30 days after expiration, this fee shall be 40 percent
of the annual license fee. This subsection does not apply to a
certificate of approval, a brewery-public house license or any
license that is issued for a period of less than 30 days.
  (4) The commission may waive the fee imposed under subsection
(3) of this section if it finds that failure to submit a timely
application was due to unforeseen circumstances or to a delay in
processing the application by the local governing authority that
is no fault of the licensee.
  (5) The license fee is nonrefundable and shall be paid by each
applicant upon the granting or committing of a license.  Subject
to ORS 471.155 and 473.065, the annual or daily license fee and
