This measure repeals Article 28 of the Oklahoma Constitution and restructures the laws

goveming alcoholic beverages through a new Article 28A and other laws the Legislature willcreate if the measure passes.

The new Article 28A provides that with exceptions, a person or company can have an ownership

interest in only one area of the alcoholic beverage business-manufacturing, wholesaling, or

retailing. Some restrictions apply to the sales of manufacturers, brewers, winemakers, and

wholesalers. Subject to limitations, the Legislature may authorize direct shipments to consumers

Retail locations like grocery stores may sell wine and beer. Liquor stores may sell products other

The Legislature must create licenses for retail locations, liquor stores, and places serving

alcoholic beverages and may create other licenses. Certain licensees must meet residency

requirements. Felons cannot be licensees.

The Legislature must designate days and hours when alcoholic beverages may be sold and may

impose taxes on sales. Municipalities may levy an occupation tax. If authorized, a state lodge

may sell individual alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption but no other state

involvement in the alcoholic beverage business is allowed.

With one exception, the measure will take effect October 1,2018.

AGAINST THE MEASURE _ NO

A "YES" vote is a vote in favor of this measure. A "NO" vote is a vote against this measure.
