Senate Bill No. 520 amends Section 6-102 of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, primarily focusing on the prohibited acts of licensees. The bill introduces the term "Knowingly" to replace the previous language "Receive" regarding the possession and sale of alcoholic beverages, emphasizing the responsibility of licensees to be aware of their actions. It also clarifies employment regulations for individuals under the age of twenty-one in establishments selling alcoholic beverages, allowing those aged eighteen and older to serve in certain capacities while maintaining restrictions for designated bar areas. Additionally, the bill outlines various prohibited practices related to the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, including limitations on drink promotions and self-service options.

Furthermore, the bill allows for specific exceptions where patrons may leave licensed premises with open containers of beer or wine during designated events, such as home football games or municipally sanctioned events, provided certain conditions are met. The legislation also establishes guidelines for the use of automated dispensing devices for beer and wine, requiring the use of RFID technology to monitor consumption and ensure compliance with age restrictions. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
