House Bill No. 2804 amends Section 6-102 of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act to clarify that a licensee must "knowingly" commit a violation of the act in order to be held accountable. The bill outlines various prohibited acts for licensees, including the unauthorized receipt, possession, or sale of alcoholic beverages, employing underage individuals in the sale of alcohol, and allowing patrons to exit licensed premises with open containers of alcoholic beverages. Notably, the bill also introduces provisions for self-pour service of beer and wine from automated devices, requiring licensees to monitor and control the dispensing process.

Additionally, the bill allows for certain exceptions to the prohibition against patrons leaving with open containers of beer or wine during specific events, such as home football games or municipally sanctioned events, provided that the licensee has notified the ABLE Commission in advance. The effective date for this legislation is set for November 1, 2025.
