HB 2799 Oklahoma House · 2026 Regular Session

Alcoholic beverages; removing certain prohibition; effective date.

HB 2799 would remove specific restrictions on Oklahoma liquor stores (retail spirits licensees). It eliminates requirements that stores only sell alcohol from certain wholesalers, that they close containers during sampling, and that they limit sales hours (except Sunday sales in counties that choose to allow it). The bill also removes the rule preventing sales in cities/towns with populations under 200 people and clarifies that using debit cards or credit cards does not count as extending credit. The bill failed in committee on April 24, 2025, and did not become law.
