Oklahoma Supreme Court Win on Behalf of the Alcohol Industry

The Oklahoma Supreme Court recently struck down SB 608 in a legal challenge litigated by GableGotwals. The Firm represented participants from all three tiers of the alcohol industry—manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers—that objected to the unconstitutional legislation. SB 608 sought to roll back modernizations reforms to the state’s alcohol-distribution system that voters had approved under State Question 792. SB 608 would have forced wine and spirit manufacturers to sell to every licensed wholesaler in the state, even those which don’t agree to basic quality and inventory controls.
