AI Summary

This bill modifies Oklahoma's Alcoholic Beverage Control Act by introducing a new definition for "micro-distiller," a type of distiller producing less than 2,400 proof gallons of spirits annually, and exempts micro-distiller license applicants from certain insurance and municipal/county compliance requirements if they meet specific criteria, such as operating outside city limits, staying within production limits, not being open to the public, and operating in a small, standalone building with limited employees. It also adjusts license fees, notably decreasing the fee for a distiller license and establishing a fee for the new micro-distiller license, while also setting a maximum fine of $5,000 per violation for micro-distillers. Additionally, the bill clarifies production limits for distillers and micro-distillers selling spirits directly to consumers or at public events, and it sets an effective date of November 1, 2026.
