New Oklahoma law will let kids enter liquor stores accompanied by parents

Oklahomans soon will be able to bring their underage children into liquor stores.

Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill Tuesday that will let minors enter liquor stores so long as they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

House Bill 2325 by Rep. Kevin McDugle, R-Broken Arrow, will go into effect on Nov. 1.

A similar bill, which would have allowed minors under age 12 to enter liquor stores, did not advance to the governor’s desk after failing to get 51 favorable votes in the House.
