The bill was converted from the House version to the Senate version, which includes significant substantive changes to the powers of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission (ABLE). The Senate version adds new enforcement powers, such as the authority to seize and confiscate alcohol in violation of the law, and expands the Commission's ability to gather statistical data and impose fees. It also clarifies the requirement for retaining records for at least five years and adds specific duties regarding the education of employees on preventing intoxication and sales to minors.

The scope of the ABLE Commission's authority was expanded to include seizure and confiscation of illegal alcohol, broader statistical data collection, and new fee-setting powers.
