§ 37-588. Private clubs currently operating under municipal license - Interim licenses.

Any establishment which, upon the effective date of this act, is operating as a private club pursuant to a permit or license issued by a municipality may continue to operate pursuant to such permit or license until July 1, 1985.

Until September 1, 1985, the ABLE Commission shall be authorized to issue interim licenses to applicants for mixed beverage, caterer, bottle club, and airline/railroad beverage licenses, prior to issuance of permanent licenses.  The issuance of interim licenses may take place before all the procedures required by the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act for such licensing are completed.

To obtain an interim license an applicant shall file an application for a license authorized by this section with the ABLE Commission and shall furnish all other information required by the Oklahoma Alcoholic Beverage Control Act and rules and regulations promulgated by the ABLE Commission, except that, if certificates of zoning or compliance with fire, safety, or health codes, required pursuant to Section 523 of this title, have not been issued by the applicable municipality or county, proof of application for said certificates shall be sufficient for issuance of the interim license.  The certificates shall be furnished to the ABLE Commission prior to issuance of a permanent license.  The interim license shall remain valid until final action either issuing a license or denying the application for a license is taken by the ABLE Commission on the application for a license, on which date the interim license shall expire.
