Bill Would Allow Cities to Close Bars for Violence

Cities in Oregon may get the power to immediately shut down bars for 72 hours when violence occurs. That’s the goal of a bill co-sponsored by Portland State Representative Tina Kotek: “This is a Bill that tries and will, if passed, connect public safety with liquor licenses in the State of Oregon in a way that’s going to keep out community safe.” Two Democrats and two Republicans are sponsoring the Bill, which follows the New Years’ shooting of a bouncer at a bar in downtown Portland.
