House Joint Resolution 1035 Summary

• Proposes an amendment to Section 3 of Article XXVIII of the Oklahoma Constitution to allow licensed wineries (both in-state and out-of-state) to ship wine directly to consumers aged 21+ who have visited the winery in person.

• Permits wineries producing no more than 10,000 gallons annually to directly sell and ship wine to licensed retail package stores and restaurants in Oklahoma without using wholesale distributors, provided they use only their own vehicles for distribution.

• Requires the Secretary of State to refer the proposed constitutional amendment to voters for approval through a ballot measure.

• Includes a "severability clause" stating that if any provision allowing direct winery sales is ruled unconstitutional, no winemaker may directly sell wine to retail package stores or restaurants in the state.

• Directs the House Chief Clerk to file copies of the resolution with the Secretary of State and Attorney General, and establishes the ballot title for voter consideration.
