The Oklahoma Regulations Governing the Sale of Wine and Beer Amendment, also known as State Question 792, was on the November 8, 2016, ballot in Oklahoma as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment. It was approved.

Voting yes supported changing the laws governing alcohol sales and distribution in the state, including provisions allowing grocery stores and convenience stores to sell full-strength beer and wine seven days a week.

Voting no opposed this proposition to repeal current laws concerning alcohol distribution and replace them.

State Question 792 was called Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 68 as it moved through the state legislature.

A citizen initiative designed to legalize the sale of alcohol in grocery stores and convenience stores was proposed for the 2016 ballot as well. However, it did not make the ballot.

Aftermath

On December 19, 2016, the Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma (RLAO) and Joseph P. Richard filed litigation against the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission. Plaintiffs are asking the Oklahoma County District Court to block the implementation of State Question 792, claiming the measure violates the United States Constitution.

Section 1. All beverages that contain alcohol, unless otherwise defined by law, shall be considered alcoholic beverages by this state and therefore governed by this Article and all other applicable laws.

Section 2. A. The Legislature shall enact laws providing for the strict regulation, control, licensing and taxation of the manufacture, sale, distribution, possession, transportation and consumption of alcoholic beverages, consistent with the provisions of this Article. Provided:

1. a. there shall be prohibited any common ownership between the manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing tiers, unless otherwise permitted by this subsection. Following the effective date of this Article, brewers may obtain beer wholesaler licenses to distribute beer, also known as brewery-owned branches, to up to two (2) territories within the state. Any brewery-owned branch in operation on the date of adoption of this Article may not expand its distribution territory that was in effect on the date of adoption of this Article. If a brewer maintained one or more licenses to distribute low-point beer in the state prior to the effective date of this Article, then up to two (2) of the brewer's low-point beer distribution licenses shall automatically convert to beer distribution licenses upon the effective date of this Article. All low-point distribution licenses shall cease to exist following this conversion date,

b. from the date of adoption of this Article by the voters until the effective date of this Article, brewers may continue to obtain and operate up to two (2) low-point beer brewery-owned branches pursuant to the existing low-point beer laws pertaining to the distribution of low-point beer by brewery-owned branches,

c. only after the effective date of this Article, the Legislature may duly enact legislation to require, by statute, the divestiture of all brewery-branches. If the Legislature requires brewers to divest, it must require full divestiture of every brewery-owned branch in the state, and it shall allow brewers at least (1) year but no more than three (3) years to complete said divestiture. Except as provided in this subsection, and except for a small brewer as defined by law, no other member of one tier may own an interest in a business licensed in a different tier;

2. A manufacturer, except a brewer, shall not be permitted to sell alcoholic beverages in this state unless such sales occur through an Oklahoma wholesaler. A manufacturer, except a brewer, or subsidiary of any manufacturer, who markets his or her product solely through a subsidiary or subsidiaries, a distiller, rectifier, bottler, winemaker or importer of alcoholic beverages, bottled or made in a foreign country, either within or without this state, may sell such brands or kinds of alcoholic beverages to any licensed wholesaler who desires to purchase the same. Provided, if a manufacturer, except a brewer, elects to sell its products to multiple wholesalers, such sales shall be made on the same price basis and without discrimination to each wholesaler;

3. A brewer, with the exception of a small brewer as defined by law, shall not be permitted to sell beer in this state unless such sales occur through an Oklahoma licensed wholesaler pursuant to a wholesaler agreement and remain at-rest in the licensed wholesaler's warehouse for at least twenty-four (24) hours, unless the sale occurs through a wholesaler that has obtained a hardship exception to this twenty-four-hour at-rest requirement. The wholesaler agreement shall designate the territory within which the beer will be sold exclusively by the wholesaler;

4. Winemakers either within or without this state may sell wine produced at their wineries to any licensed wholesaler who desires to purchase the wine; provided, that if a winemaker elects to sell the wine it produces to multiple wholesalers, then such sales shall be made on the same price basis and without discrimination to each wholesaler. In addition to its sales through one or more licensed wholesalers, a winemaker may be authorized to sell its wine as follows:

a. winemakers either within or without this state may sell wine produced at the winery to adult consumers who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age and are physically present on the premises of the winery or at a festival or trade show, and

b. winemakers either within or without this state that annually produce no more than fifteen thousand (15,000) gallons of wine may sell and ship only the wine they produce directly to licensed restaurants or other retail stores and outlets that may be from time to time authorized by the state to sell alcoholic beverages; provided, however, that any such winemaker which elects to directly sell its wine under this subparagraph shall not also use a licensed wholesaler as a means of distribution, and shall be required to sell its wines to every restaurant and other retail store or outlet that may be from time to time authorized by the state to sell wine for off-premise consumption who desires to purchase the same, as supplies allow, on the same price basis and without discrimination. As used in this section, "restaurant" means an establishment that is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages by the individual drink for on-premise consumption and where food is prepared and sold for immediate consumption on the premises. Any winemaker within or without this state that annually produces no more than fifteen thousand (15,000) gallons of wine and elects to directly sell its wine to restaurants and other retail stores and outlets that may be from time to time authorized by the state to sell wine for off-premise consumption must self-distribute the wine using only vehicle(s) owned or leased by the winemaker, and without the use of a common or private contract carrier.

All provisions of this paragraph are declared to be interdependent; and

5. Every wholesaler, except a beer wholesaler, must sell its products on the same price basis and without discrimination to all on-premise and off-premise licensees, unless otherwise provided by law. Every beer wholesaler must sell its beer to all on-premise licensees on the same price basis and without discrimination and to all off-premise licensees on the same price basis within a particular county and without discrimination. Every wholesaler must receive payment in full upon receipt of the alcoholic beverage by all on-premise and off-premise licensees. It shall be unlawful for any wholesaler to grant to any member of the retail tier, directly or indirectly, any credit, loan, discount, rebate, free goods, allowance or other inducement not otherwise expressly permitted by state law.

B. No alcoholic beverage shall be shipped directly to a consumer from a manufacturer within or without the state, unless such shipment has been authorized by law. Provided, if direct shipment is authorized by law, it shall be limited to the direct shipment of wine by wineries within or without the state who have secured all necessary permits and remitted all necessary taxes as prescribed by the state, to Oklahoma residents:

a. who are at least twenty-one (21) years of age,

b. who intend the wine for personal use and not for resale,

c. who will not receive by direct shipment more than six (6) nine-liter cases of wine from any single winery per year, and

d. who will not receive by direct shipment more than thirty (30) nine-liter cases of wine per year.

C. All laws passed by the Legislature under the authority of the Article shall be consistent with the provisions of this section. If any provision of this Article applicable to winemakers is ruled to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, then no winemaker shall be permitted to directly sell its wine to restaurants or other retail stores and outlets that may be from time to time authorized by the state to sell wine for off-premise consumption or to consumers in this state.

Section 3. A. The Legislature shall, by law, prescribe a set of licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to consumers for off-premise consumption, which shall include but not be limited to:

1. A Retail Spirits License, which shall be required in order to sell the following:

a. spirits in their original sealed package, and/or

b. refrigerated and non-refrigerated wine and beer in their original sealed package.

A holder of a Retail Spirits License shall be permitted to sell at retail any item that may be purchased at a grocery store or convenience store, as defined by law, so long as the sale of items other than alcoholic beverages do not comprise more than twenty percent (20%) of the holder's monthly sales;

2. A Retail Wine License, which shall be required in order to sell refrigerated or non-refrigerated wine in the original sealed package. Retail Wine Licenses may be owned without limitation on number by retail locations; and

3. A Retail Beer License, which shall be required in order to sell refrigerated or non-refrigerated beer in the original sealed package. Retail Beer Licenses may be owned without limitation on number by retail locations.

B. As used in this section, the term "retail location" shall include but not be limited to:

1. Supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, drug stores, warehouse clubs and supercenters as defined by law; and/or

2. Retail outlets which were authorized to legally sell low point beer as of the effective date of this section.

C. The Legislature shall, by law, prescribe a set of licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to consumers for on-premise consumption, which may include the sale of spirits, wine and/or beer, provided that such sales of alcoholic beverages by the individual drink have been authorized by the voters in the specific county where the alcoholic beverages are sold, either prior to or after the enactment of this Article.

Section 4. A. A Retail Spirits License shall only be issued to a sole proprietor who has been a resident of this state for at least five (5) years immediately preceding the date of application for such license, or a partnership in which all the partners have satisfied the same residency requirement. A Retail Spirits License shall not be issued to a corporation, limited liability company or similar business entity, and no person shall have an ownership interest in more than two (2) Retail Spirits Licenses.

B. A Wine and Spirits Wholesaler's License shall only be issued to a sole proprietor who has been a resident of this state for at least five (5) years immediately preceding the date of application for such license, or a partnership in which all the partners have satisfied the same residency requirement, except as otherwise provided in this section.

1. Has operated as the holder of a substantially equivalent license in another state for at least one (1) year immediately preceding its application to be added as a corporate partner;

2. Will actively participate in the day-to-day operations of the license holder;

3. Will secure all necessary permits with the state; and

4. Will not maintain more than a fifty percent (50%) equity interest in the license holder at any time.

Section 8. The State of Oklahoma, or any political subdivision thereof, or any board, commission or agency thereof, is hereby prohibited from engaging in any phase of the alcoholic beverage business, including the manufacture, sale, transportation or distribution thereof, at wholesale or retail, and the maintenance, ownership or operation of warehouses or alcoholic beverage stores; except that if the voters of a county in which a state lodge is located approve retail sale of alcoholic beverages by the individual drink for on-premises consumption, and if the State Legislature enacts legislation approving such sales in any such lodges located in any such counties, then such sales are authorized. The Legislature may enact laws restricting the involvement of officers and employees of the state and political subdivisions thereof in the alcoholic beverage business.

Provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages legally confiscated as provided by law

Section 9. Incorporated cities and towns wherein the sale of alcoholic beverages is lawful, may levy an occupation tax, not exceeding the amount of the State license fees, for the manufacture, distribution or sale of alcoholic beverages.

Arguments

Sen. Clark Jolley (R-41) and Sen. Stephanie Bice (R-22) wrote an opinion article in The Oklahoman supporting Question 792. The two senators argued:

“

Competition has always formed the basis of America's economy, and the more we can do to create a level playing field, the better. For example, rather than making beer runs across the state border, Oklahomans will now be able to keep their dollars at home. We believe updating Prohibition-era laws will also make it easier for employers to attract and retain a younger and more diversified workforce. … We hope Oklahomans will join us in this opportunity to reject protectionist laws, affirm our support of the free market and move our state forward by voting in favor of SQ 792.

”

Opposition

792 Not For You: Vote No on 792 led the opposition campaign against State Question 792.

Opponents

• Bryan Kerr, owner of Moore Liquor and president of the Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma
• Megan Richard, owner of Cache Road Liquor
• Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma

Arguments against

Opponents made the following arguments against State Question 792:

• SQ 792 would increase prices for alcoholic beverages by doing away with a competitive market system and establishing a system that would allow large companies to more easily monopolize the alcohol market.
• SQ 792 would increase alcohol abuse by increasing the access to alcohol outlets, diminishing the penalties for selling to minors, and lessening regulations on the sale of alcohol.
• SQ 792 would be bad for local businesses and good for large, out-of-state corporations.
• SQ 792 would reduce selection since establishments would be no longer motivated by sharp competition to stock craft beers and less popular brands or provide special order service.

The 792 Not For You website featured the following argument in opposition to SQ 792:

“

In November, Oklahomans will be asked to vote to liberalize our alcohol laws. Although the idea of strong beer and wine at convenience and grocery stores appeals to many, this bill was written by lobbyists and lawyers for big, rich corporations in order to benefit themselves and a few others without any regard for Oklahoma consumers, public safety or local businesses.

”

Bryan Kerr, owner of Moore Liquor and president of the Retail Liquor Association of Oklahoma, argued that State Question 792 could put smaller retailers out of business, saying the following:

“

I think we would see 300 plus locally owned retail package stores out of business fairly quickly and their employees without jobs.

”

Media editorials

Support

• Enid News & Eagle said: "It’s time to bring Oklahoma’s liquor laws into the 21st century. We urge Oklahomans to vote “yes” on SQ 792."
• Tulsa World said: "Some liquor store owners are concerned that passage of SQ 792 will hurt their strong beer and wine sales. Well, it will hurt their monopoly of that market, but it ought not kill well-run, viable businesses. ... Oklahomans want cold, strong beer and wine to be available at all levels of retail. That’s what they ought to get. SQ 792 is a fair state question. It will be Oklahoma’s first step toward sensible alcohol laws since liquor-by-the drink was approved in the 1980s. Let the free market decide where customers will shop. It’s time."
• Stillwater News Press said: "We fully endorse a Yes vote on state question 792 for the modernization of Oklahoma’s alcohol laws. Oklahoma is unnecessarily behind the rest of the country in this regard. It’s high time to catch up with laws that are supported by most Oklahomans, and crosses the political aisles."
• The Oklahoman said: "State Question 792 would allow the sale of wine and strong beer in grocery and convenience stores. The Oklahoman endorses a “yes” vote on SQ 792."
