Which of the following groups is prohibited from serving alcohol in Oregon?

In Oregon, serving alcohol is regulated to ensure the safety and compliance of alcohol distribution. Individuals who are minors, specifically those under the age of 21, are legally prohibited from serving alcohol in any establishment. This restriction is in place to prevent underage drinking and related consequences, as minors may lack the maturity and judgment needed to handle alcohol responsibly.

This regulation serves to uphold community standards and protect public health, as well as to comply with state laws regarding alcohol service. On the other hand, individuals over 21 years old are legally allowed to serve alcohol, as are those currently in the process of obtaining a license, provided they meet other requirements. Additionally, while individuals with prior alcohol violations may face challenges in obtaining certification or employment in the alcohol service industry, they are not automatically prohibited from serving alcohol unless specific conditions of their violations impose such restrictions.
