The 2025 Oregon legislative session adjourned on June 27, 2025. Six bills passed with respect to cannabis. Of these, I covered SB 162 and SB 558 last month in Oregon Cannabis Roundup: June 2025, so please head over to that post if you'd like a full recap. Today I'll give a skeletal summary of each of those keys bills, and better explain the other four.

SB 162

This one contains myriad law enforcement provisions, as detailed in last month's post. It also allows OLCC to extend marijuana license terms from one year to five, which would be great. Finally, it has a "grandfather" provision for retailers that were legislated out of viability by the 1,000 foot radius rule.

SB 347

This is another bill related to law enforcement. It doesn't appear that Governor Kotek signed (or vetoed) it, but both the Senate President and House Speaker signed, so it's law at this point.

With comprehensive legislation unlikely before the new deadline and competing interests from cannabis sellers, alcohol producers, and state regulators creating policy gridlock, the future of intoxicating hemp products remains uncertain as midterm elections approach.

IRC Section 280E And Cannabis Tax Planning: Recent Developments And Practical Considerations

The landscape surrounding Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code continues to evolve with President Trump's Executive Order on medical marijuana rescheduling, advancing litigation in New Mexico Top Organics v. Commissioner, and shifting regulatory signals. Cannabis taxpayers face critical decisions about taking "non-280E" positions on their tax returns while the IRS maintains its enforcement stance and the U.S. Tax Court case addressing common arguments remains pending.
