Oklahoma legislators will try to address the contentious issue of modernizing state liquor laws in the upcoming session. Tulsa area Representative Glen Mulready has been attending multiple meetings on the subject during the interim. He says it’s a difficult issue since liquor laws are written into the constitution. Citizens will have to vote on changes and it can only get on the ballot through the legislature or initiative petition. He would prefer lawmakers agree on language since he believes that will better encompass all parties interests in the issue.
Mulready is hopeful something will come out of this session that will allow citizens to vote on updating state liquor laws.
