The bill amends Section 2-146 of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, specifically addressing the grounds for denying various alcoholic beverage licenses. It specifies that the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission must refuse to issue licenses if certain conditions are met, such as the applicant's age, residency status, criminal history, and compliance with tax laws. The bill also clarifies that a beer distributor licensee and a wine and spirits wholesaler licensee under common ownership are not limited in the types of business entities that may obtain a wholesaler license, while maintaining strict liability for retail spirits licenses to ensure public safety.

Additionally, the bill includes a provision that allows for the issuance of a beer distributor license to corporations, partnerships, or limited liability companies, thereby broadening the eligibility for such licenses. The amendments aim to streamline the licensing process for wholesalers while ensuring compliance with existing regulations and promoting public safety in the sale of alcoholic beverages.
