Background:
State Question 792, is modernizing Oklahoma Liquor laws, thus there are numerous changes that will need to be reflected within the City Ordinances. Specifically, Chapter 4, Alcoholic Beverages, Article V, Low-Point Beverages, shall be completely repealed since State Question 792 eliminated dual strength beer which means no matter the alcohol content, alcoholic beverages will be regulated the same by the ABLE Commission. Thus, there is no longer a distinction between low and high point beer as all beer will be regulated through the City’s alcoholic beverage ordinances.
SQ792 will be in effect on October 1, 2018. Thus, the adoption date of these amendments of City Ordinances shall be October 1 ,2018.
