Critics question the fairness of Oklahoma liability insurance bill

OKLAHOMA CITY – The Senate on Tuesday passed a bill that would require those holding a special event license to carry liability insurance, despite concerns over fairness.

Senate Bill 2178 would require the licensee to carry general liability insurance, including liquor liability coverage, of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million total.

A special event license allows the holder to sell and distribute alcohol for on-premises consumption at up to four events in a year.

The measure would require licensed employees serving alcohol at a special event to ensure the event has been properly licensed.
