This bill amends Section 2-101 of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, specifically addressing the annual license fees for various alcoholic beverage licenses. The bill replaces the term "ABLE" with "Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission" and introduces new fee structures for distiller licenses based on production levels, with fees set at $320 for those producing 2,500 cases or less and $3,125 for those producing more than 2,500 cases in the last calendar year. Additionally, it establishes a range of fees for other licenses, including retail spirits, wine, and beer licenses, as well as various special event and catering licenses.
The bill also outlines administrative fees for mixed beverage licenses and mixed beverage/caterer combination licenses, which are set at $500 and $250, respectively. It provides specific exemptions for service organizations and fraternal societies regarding certain license fees and establishes a surcharge for various licenses that will contribute to the Alcoholic Beverage Governance Revolving Fund. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
