Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
  SECTION 1.  { + Section 2 of this 2009 Act is added to and made
a part of ORS chapter 471. + }
  SECTION 2.  { + (1) If the Director of Human Services conducts
an inspection under ORS 624.060 of a premises licensed for full
on-premises sales or limited on-premises sales, the holder of the
license may request that the director verify the amount of liquid
held by pint glasses used at the licensed premises for serving
draught malt beverages to customers. If the director determines,
based on a random sampling of the glasses, that the glasses used
at the premises hold at least 16 fluid ounces of draught malt
beverage when dispensed under standard conditions established by
the director, the director shall provide the holder of the
license with written verification of the measurement.
  (2) The director may adopt all rules necessary to carry out the
duties of the director under subsection (1) of this section.
However, any rules adopted by the director under this section for
measuring the capacity of glasses are subject to approval by the
Director of Agriculture. The Director of Human Services may
charge the holder of the license a reasonable fee for conducting
the measurement and providing the written measurement
verification.
  (3) The Oregon Liquor Control Commission shall design a decal
that features the words 'honest pint' for display at qualifying
premises. If the Director of Human Services provides the holder
of a license with a written measurement verification under
subsection (1) of this section, the holder may submit the
measurement verification to the commission. Upon receiving a
valid measurement verification, the commission shall issue the
holder an 'honest pint' decal for display at the licensed
premises where the director conducted the measurement
verification. Notwithstanding ORS 471.730, the commission shall
allow the display of an 'honest pint' decal on a window or door
of the licensed premises. The right to display the decal expires
two years after issuance or renewal, unless the director performs
a new measurement verification and the commission renews the
right to display the certificate. The commission may charge the
holder of a license a reasonable fee, not to exceed the cost of
providing the decal service.
  (4) The holder of a license may display an 'honest pint ' decal
at a licensed premises only if the premises has qualified for the
decal as provided in this section. + }
