Frustrated with other modernization efforts, an industry group representing Oklahoma liquor store owners has launched its own push to get a state question on the November ballot to change the state's alcohol laws.

The Oklahoma Retail Liquor Association filed documents with the Oklahoma Secretary of State on Tuesday for a ballot measure to get beer and wine in grocery stores.

The Retail Liquor Association's proposed State Question 785 would allow cold, full-strength beer in grocery and convenience stores. The proposal would also allow for grocery stores to obtain wine licenses.

It is almost certain that the the Oklahoma Retail Liquor Association will face one or multiple legal challenges to the intiative peitition and after that the group must gather about 127,000 signatures to get the proposal on the November ballot at State Question 785, said Bryan Kerr, president of the Retail Liquor Association.
