Alcoholic beverages; prohibiting alcoholic beverages from being sold for less than a certain amount. Effective date.
SB 950 prohibits retail sellers of alcoholic beverages (including bars and stores) from selling alcohol for less than a 6% markup above their actual cost, effective November 1, 2025. The bill allows exceptions for clearance sales (with proper advertising), damaged or discontinued items, business liquidations, charitable sales, government contracts, court-ordered sales, and bona fide auctions. It directly affects all businesses selling alcohol for retail consumption by setting a minimum price floor. The law updates Oklahoma’s existing alcohol sales statute to include this specific markup requirement.
