Senate Bill No. 1032 introduces new provisions regarding the liability of licensed establishments for the actions of their employees in relation to the sale and service of alcoholic beverages. The bill defines key terms such as "employee" and "seller-server training certificate," and establishes that certain actions by employees, such as selling alcohol to minors or intoxicated individuals, may not be attributed to the establishment if specific conditions are met. To assert an affirmative defense against liability, licensed establishments must ensure that employees hold valid licenses, complete seller-server training, adopt written policies prohibiting illegal sales, and maintain records of employee acknowledgments of these policies.

Additionally, the bill creates a rebuttable presumption that a licensed establishment has indirectly encouraged violations if an employee commits certain infractions on three or more occasions within a year. The burden of proof shifts to the establishment to demonstrate compliance with the law if the ABLE Commission presents sufficient evidence of repeated violations. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and includes provisions for codification in the Oklahoma Statutes.
