House Bill No. 2369, known as the "Marissa Murrow Act," seeks to amend the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act by introducing a new definition for "event venue," which refers to non-governmental locations available for public rental for events. The bill establishes a fee structure for an "Event Bartender" license, set at $50.00, and outlines the requirements for obtaining this license, including proof of training. It also clarifies who is authorized to serve beer and wine at these venues and introduces provisions for revocable offenses related to violations by event bartenders. Additionally, the bill updates existing definitions, such as "public event," "rectifier," "restaurant," and "retailer," while deleting outdated terms to enhance clarity in the regulations surrounding the sale and service of alcoholic beverages.

Moreover, the bill amends regulations concerning caterer licenses, stipulating that food sales must account for at least 35% of total sales for the issuance or renewal of such licenses. It requires caterers to submit annual sales reports and monthly event reports to ensure compliance. The legislation mandates that all alcoholic beverages at events must be served by an ABLE licensed caterer or event bartender, with the latter required to complete an approved training program within fourteen days of obtaining their license. Non-compliance with this training may lead to license revocation. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, aiming to streamline the regulatory framework for alcoholic beverage licensing and clarify the responsibilities of license holders.
