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 encompasses non-governmental locations for public or private events, excluding tax-exempt properties. 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 specifies who is authorized to serve beer and wine at these venues and introduces penalties for violations related to event bartending. Additionally, the bill amends various definitions within the Act, such as "public event," "rectifier," "restaurant," and "retailer," to enhance clarity and compliance with current practices.

Moreover, the bill addresses caterer licenses, stipulating that food sales must account for at least 35% of total sales for the issuance or renewal of such licenses. It mandates caterers to submit annual sales reports and monthly event reports to ensure compliance. The legislation also clarifies that actions leading to the revocation or suspension of a mixed beverage license will apply to caterer licenses. New provisions require that all alcoholic beverages served at event venues be managed by an ABLE licensed caterer or event bartender, who must complete an approved training program within fourteen days of obtaining their license. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
