SB 465 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Alcoholic beverages; exempting certain organizations from certain number of licenses issued each year.

SB 465 exempts Oklahoma colleges and universities from the current annual limit of eight charitable alcohol event licenses. It also allows economic development chambers and similar organizations to host alcohol events without a special license, provided the events aren't primarily for fundraising and use a licensed caterer for alcohol service. This change does not affect other charitable groups, which remain limited to eight events per year. The bill streamlines licensing for these specific organizations to host fundraising events involving wine, beer, or spirits.
