Schwartz v. Washington County

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that Senate Bill 587 does not preempt Washington County Ordinance 878, which bans flavored tobacco products, and remanded the case for further proceedings. The court reasoned that the ordinance is a permissible exercise of home‑rule and coregulatory authority and that the statute does not unambiguously preempt such local regulation.
