Official statutory text
All revenue accruing from the excise tax levied by Section 104
of this act shall be collected by the Oklahoma Tax Commission and
distributed as follows:
1. Two-thirds of ninety-seven percent (2/3 of 97%) of such tax
revenue shall be paid to the State Treasurer and placed to the
credit of the General Revenue Fund of the state; provided, any
amounts derived from the tax levied pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3
of subsection A of Section 104 of this act that exceed an amount
equal to the total amount collected from such tax levy for the
fiscal year ending on June 30, 2010, shall be distributed to the
Oklahoma Viticulture and Enology Center Development Revolving Fund
created pursuant to Section 132 of this act, but in no event shall
the distribution to the Oklahoma Viticulture and Enology Center
Development Revolving Fund in any fiscal year exceed Three Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00);
2. One-third of ninety-seven percent (1/3 of 97%) of such
revenue is hereby allocated to the counties of this state and shall
be paid to the county treasurers on the basis of area and population
(giving equal weight to area and population) wherein the sale of
alcoholic beverages is lawful, and all of such funds shall be
appropriated by the county commissioners of each county and
apportioned by the county treasurer to all incorporated cities and

towns in the county on the basis of population within each city and
town on a per capita basis based on the last preceding Federal
Decennial Census. For the purpose of appropriating and paying the
excise taxes collected under the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act, or any act which is amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto,
to the incorporated cities and towns in any county, city or town,
the corporate limits of which include territory within more than one
county, shall be considered and treated as being a city or town in
only the county within which more than fifty percent (50%) of the
entire population of such city or town, as shown by the last
preceding Federal Decennial Census, reside, and, for such purpose,
shall not be considered or treated as being a city or town in any
other county. In the event that the last preceding Federal
Decennial Census fails to disclose information from which such fact
may be determined by the board of county commissioners which is
appropriating the tax money then involved to the cities and towns in
its county, the board of county commissioners shall make an
estimate, from the best information then available to it, as to the
percentage of the entire population of such city or town then
residing in the county. If such board of county commissioners
determines, either from information disclosed by the last preceding
Federal Decennial Census, or from the best information then
available to the ABLE Commission (when such information is not
disclosed by the last preceding Federal Decennial Census), that more
than fifty percent (50%) of the population of such a city or town
resides in that county, such city or town shall receive its pro rata
share of such tax money on the basis of its entire population
according to the last preceding Federal Decennial Census; but if
such board of county commissioners so determines that more than
fifty percent (50%) of the population of such city or town does not
reside in that county, no part of such tax money shall be
appropriated or paid to such city or town; and
3. The remaining three percent (3%) of such excise tax revenue
shall be paid to the State Treasurer and placed to the credit of the
Oklahoma Tax Commission Fund to be paid out of the fund pursuant to
appropriations made by the State Legislature.
