Retail spirits licensees; allowing for licensed premises to operate a specified distance outside of city limits. Effective date.
SB 24 amends Oklahoma law to allow retail spirits licensees to operate within two miles of a city or town with a population exceeding 20,000 (based on the latest U.S. Census), expanding where liquor stores can operate. This directly affects licensed retailers seeking to serve areas near larger municipalities. The bill updates Section 6-103 of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws to correct the population threshold and distance rule, removing outdated restrictions. It takes effect November 1, 2025.
