§ 37A-2-153 — Nature of licenses - Deceased, bankrupt or incompetent

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.
