AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "brand" in the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act to include wine and spirits, in addition to beer. It also defines a "top brand" as the top 25 brands of spirits and wine by total sales over the past 12 months, as determined by the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission. The bill requires manufacturers of these top brands to offer them for sale to all licensed wine and spirits wholesalers on the same price basis, without discrimination. It also requires wholesalers who purchase top-brand products to comply with line-item pricing requirements, and sets a process for approving pricing amendments.
