Bill No. 2799 amends Section 6-103 of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, specifically targeting the prohibited acts of retail spirits licensees. The bill removes the previous restriction that prevented retail spirits licensees from selling spirits in cities or towns with populations of 200 or fewer, thereby allowing such sales in smaller municipalities. Additionally, it modifies the numbering of the prohibitions, changing the designation of the prohibition against offering prizes or gifts in connection with alcoholic beverage sales from item 6 to item 5, and the prohibition against paying with dishonored checks from item 7 to item 6.

The bill also clarifies that retail spirits licensees may accept cash, debit, or nationally recognized credit cards without it being considered an extension of credit. Furthermore, it maintains the existing regulations regarding the sale hours of alcoholic beverages and the presence of individuals under 21 years of age on licensed premises, with specific exceptions for employees of licensed distributors. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
