AI Summary
This bill makes several changes to Oklahoma's alcoholic beverage laws, including allowing establishments with a mixed beverage license to offer complimentary tastings of up to one and a half ounces of spirits, six ounces of wine, or twelve ounces of beer per day to customers aged 21 or older, and it clarifies that licensed distributors cannot be forced by brewers or small brewers to accept deliveries of beer they did not order, giving them the right to refuse such deliveries without penalty. Additionally, the bill prohibits manufacturers and non-resident sellers from requiring wine and spirits wholesalers to purchase other goods as a condition of buying alcoholic beverages, and also allows these wholesalers to refuse unordered deliveries without consequence, while also updating the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission's (ABLE) duties to include preparing an annual report detailing license revocations, suspensions, complaints, tickets issued, and penalties, which will be made public on the ABLE Commission's website and provided to state leadership.
