Travis Nelson, seeking approaches to reduce trash tied to drive-thru fast-food restaurants.

Rep. Travis Nelson, who represents House District 44, said neighbors had tried to work with businesses directly without success and that the bill is intended to create clearer processes for partnership between industry and local governments. “This is an issue not about placing blame, but it's about creating opportunities for partnership and ensuring that communities do not have to deal with the burden of avoidable trash on their own,” he said.

Neighbors and witnesses described visible litter near specific restaurants. A neighbor identified only as April and Rep. Nelson displayed photos of accumulated trash near a Lombard Street restaurant. Several committee members suggested local or city-level approaches might be appropriate.

A witness who identified himself as a restaurant and fast-food interior designer gave cost and operational estimates: he said Oregon has about 11,554 fast-food restaurants (his estimate), that a single outdoor receptacle could cost about $1,000 plus roughly $1,000 to $2,000 to install, and that ongoing collection could add about $100 to $1,200 per month per store depending on service and compaction features. He warned that required outdoor servicing at night raises safety and operational concerns and that added costs for receptacles and collection could be substantial for franchise owners.

Rep. Osborne and other members pressed questions about whether the state should act or leave cities and neighborhoods to address the issue. Committee members and witnesses discussed alternatives, including expanded placement of public receptacles and city pilot programs. Rep. Nelson said he intended to work with industry and local governments rather than move the bill forward immediately and characterized the hearing as an early, informational step.

No legislative action was taken; the session was informational and the sponsor said he did not expect the bill to return in the near term but would pursue stakeholder conversations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","House Committee On Economic Development, Small Business, and Trade 05/07/2025 8:30 AM","oneSentenceSummary","Representative Travis Nelson presented House Bill 3541 in an informational meeting about litter linked to drive-thru restaurants; testimony ranged from neighbors describing local trash problems to industry and design witnesses warning of costs and operational challenges for mandated receptacles.","taxTitle","Economic Development and Small Business, House of Representatives, Committees, Legislative, Oregon","taxId",17512,"location","Oregon","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6246802,"Committee hears bill to require notarized owner consent for marijuana and psilocybin sites",425,35000,460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3215213-790c3fdd4f3a763d79ba1214d1b0232b&start=35&end=460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3215213-790c3fdd4f3a763d79ba1214d1b0232b/thumbnail_35000.jpg","/articles/6246802/Oregon/Committee-hears-bill-to-require-notarized-owner-consent-for-marijuana-and-psilocybin-sites","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6246802-2828ffd0d4a8dd20998d5b1c896731c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770418864&Signature=F1NTq53nNFaOT9P~czOilz4xY26YjifORubM9QteJ7Oo7tZOowHKXgugQX02kNVKnqZ8U02fY5Xr~b5RwHmT9kpud2oSLJk9~2XAdf1MLNPxQMFuLqr65UDOBVJ9LlpvGURFJPvL9CB9z0pVLgR4Tt7MEi6~qEssztuYsCq1yMMtPbnPBeuQRtWnv6aSny1O-wUiiLTo6Ia~z7gtVg31dZrYKOIzc73VXSdyE~USpT9VDfelWv4e3LaQd36gtF4e5E-AfR3gkM3teq6UpGUaxAPi2avi~~iPEq6twWlq~ucry2xaZNZhW61qazOus-wiuEGUNZzE2G5aF8qeP97Tiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The House Committee on Economic Development, Small Business and Trade held a public hearing May 7 on Senate Bill 907, which would require applicants for psilocybin manufacturer licenses, marijuana processing and grow-site licenses, and medical marijuana grow and processing sites to provide the legal address of the premises and notarized written consent from the property owner.

Sen. Kim Thatcher, who represents Senate District 11, told the committee the bill is intended to “make sure we're connecting the dots between this activity and then when it's taking place on land or property not owned by the people undertaking the activity.” She described the notarization requirement as a response to forged signatures and property owners discovering unauthorized grows on their land.

The bill, as described in the committee summary, would require the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) to verify the ownership information submitted with license applications and to notify property owners if the applicant is not the owner. If an owner is not the applicant, agencies would need written, notarized consent before a license could cover that location. Agencies would also require applicants to resubmit owner consent when a permission period expires.

Public testimony included extended remarks from James W. Crawford of Yamhill, who criticized current program oversight and expressed concerns about diversion and property impacts. “Stop pretending that the OMMP was intended to serve only legitimate medical marijuana patients,” Crawford said, arguing that limits and enforcement have allowed unlawful activity.

Committee members asked about the bill's practical effects. A committee staff member confirmed the operative date discussed in the hearing would be Jan. 1, 2026, and Sen. Thatcher said the intent is that existing owner permissions would need renewal within about a year so records are current. Thatcher also said the requirement does not change other existing background- or land-use checks; it adds a notarized owner-consent verification step and applies across OHA- and OLCC-regulated licenses.

No committee vote was taken. The hearing served to gather information, clarify how the notarization and renewal provisions would work, and surface enforcement and implementation questions for OHA and OLCC. If advanced, the bill would require the agencies to adopt rules to implement the verification and consent procedures.","A House committee heard testimony on Senate Bill 907, which would require applicants for marijuana and psilocybin manufacturing and grow-site licenses to provide notarized property-owner consent and the legal address of the premises; agencies would verify ownership and consent and applicants would need to renew owner permission when it expires.","actionData","errors"]
