Official statutory text

licensees - Application to transfer license.

Any license issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma

Alcoholic Beverage Control Act shall be a purely personal privilege.

It shall not constitute property nor be subject to attachment,

garnishment or execution, or be alienable or transferable, either

voluntarily or involuntarily; nor shall it descend by the laws of

descent and distribution, but shall cease upon the death of the

licensee. Provided, the ABLE Commission, under such regulations and

subject to such restrictions as it may prescribe, may permit the

executors or administrators of the estate of any deceased licensee,

or the trustees of an insolvent or bankrupt licensee, or the legal

guardian of a licensee who has been adjudged to be incompetent or

insane, to exercise the privileges under any license held by such

person for such period as the ABLE Commission may deem equitable

during the administration of the deceased or bankrupt licensee's

estate, but not to exceed two (2) years. A license may not be

transferred to a new location, except upon application to the ABLE

Commission and endorsement on the license by the ABLE Commission

showing the new location. An application for transfer of license

shall be accompanied by a certificate reflecting, as to the proposed

new location, compliance with municipal zoning ordinances or county

zoning regulations and municipal or county fire, safety and health

codes as required by Section 54 of this act. A mixed beverage or

bottle club licensee who transfers the license to a new location

shall pay a transfer fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) to the

ABLE Commission.
