Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.

Event bartenders face license fees and training

Beginning July 1, 2026, Oklahoma's new Event Bartender License costs $50. License holders must complete in-person training from an ABLE Commission-approved group within 14 days after getting their first license. Proof of training must be available for inspection at the event venue. Failure to comply can lead to license revocation. The law does not set a training fee.

Event venues must use licensed alcohol servers

Beginning July 1, 2026, alcohol at covered Oklahoma event venues must be served by an ABLE-licensed provider. Only mixed beverage licensees, caterer licensees, or event bartender licensees may provide that service. Covered venues are nongovernmental sites offered to the public for temporary events through rent, lease, reservation, or another contract. Sites owned, leased, or occupied by organizations tax-exempt under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) are excluded.
