Alcoholic beverage licenses; grounds to deny license; excluding certain license from certain provision.
SB 1031 amends Oklahoma's Alcoholic Beverage Control Act (37A O.S. 2021, Section 2-146) to clarify that common ownership of beer distributor and wine/spirits wholesaler licenses is permitted under corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies. It specifically removes a previous restriction (Section 2-146(15)) that prevented such combined ownership. This change directly affects businesses seeking or renewing these specific liquor licenses, allowing them to operate multiple license types under the same entity. The bill became law on May 29, 2025, without the Governor's signature.
