[HealthyTribes] Tobacco Retail License PE 76 Opt in Reminder

[MASUDA ANNE]

Good afternoon Local PH Administrators and Local PH Officers,

This message is being sent to LPH Officers as a courtesy and no action is needed from health officers.

This is a reminder for Local Public Health Authorities interested in opting into enforcing Oregon's Tobacco Retail License locally. Program Element 76 allows interested Local Public Health Authorities or local programs to inspect tobacco retailers in their communities for compliance with Oregon's tobacco retail sales laws. This is an optional Program Element, with work beginning July 1, 2024. A copy of the program element and appendices are attached, as approved by CLHO.

If your Local Public Health Authority is interested in opting in beginning July 1, 2024, the Local Public Health Administrator must notify the Oregon Tobacco Retail License program by January 31, 2024, to allow for adequate start up time.

Please find attached an updated one pager and a Frequently Asked Questions Document about Program Element 76. The Oregon Tobacco Retail License Program will hold an optional information session for interested Local Public Health Authorities or local programs on January 4th at 9:00 am. Register for the information session here: https://www.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsdO-vrTwuG5C5EIXVwZIbbcsgi9yZeAQ
Contact Annie Masuda with questions or recording requests at anne.masuda2 at oha.oregon.gov<mailto:anne.masuda2 at oha.oregon.gov> or 503-569-8695. The information session will cover Program Element requirements, the role of OHA and Local Public Health Authorities, local staffing suggestions, available training, and technical assistance from OHA, as well as questions and answers.

We are excited to work together to continue developing this new component of local work. Please reach out to Sarah Wylie, Oregon Tobacco Retail License Program Manager, with any questions at sarah.a.wylie at oha.oregon.gov<mailto:sarah.a.wylie at oha.oregon.gov> or 971-200-9887.

Best regards,
Sarah
