A.  Any limited liability company, formed as provided for in the Limited Liability Company Act, may apply for a beer and wine, bottle club, caterer, or mixed beverage license issued pursuant to the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act.  Any limited liability company applying for a license shall submit to the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement Commission, the following:

1.  A Certificate of Good Standing from the Office of the Secretary of State;

2.  The Articles of Organization with all amendments and corrections filed with the Office of the Secretary of State with proof that same has been filed in accordance with the Limited Liability Company Act;

3.  The name and address of the resident agent;

4.  The name and address of the manager;

5.  The operating agreement;

6.  A current list of the full name, social security number, and address of each member; and

7.  A copy of the issued Certificate of Membership Interest for each member.

B.  A limited liability company licensee shall notify the ABLE Commission in writing of any change in the manager of the licensed company within thirty (30) days of said change and shall pay a fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each notification of change.

C.  A limited liability company shall notify the ABLE Commission in writing any time a membership is assigned or members are added or disassociated within thirty (30) days of said change.  The limited liability company shall pay a fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for each notification of change.

D.  The ABLE Commission may disapprove a change of manager or new membership in a licensed liability company if the ABLE Commission feels that such change would materially affect any conditions under which the license was issued, such that the license would not have been issued had such change been in existence at the time of the original application.  If such disapproval occurs, the ABLE Commission shall notify the licensee in writing and allow a reasonable time for the licensee to remove such manager or for a member to be disassociated from the company.  Provided that a reasonable time not exceed a ninety-day period following notification of denial by the ABLE Commission.  Failure to comply with the provisions of this subsection may result in revocation or suspension of such license.

E.  Any person who has been a licensee, a partner in a license, an officer, director or fifteen percent (15%) or more stockholder of a corporation holding a license revoked or suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act, shall not serve as a manager or be a member in a limited liability company seeking a license pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act for a period of twelve (12) months from the date said license was revoked or suspended.

F.  Any person who has been a manager, member or participant in any business entity which was a manager or member of a limited liability company which has been denied a license or has a license revoked or suspended, pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act shall not serve as a manager or member in a limited liability company seeking a license pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act for a period of twelve (12) months from date said license was revoked or suspended.
