2018 STATE QUESTION FACT SHEET
With November 6th quickly approaching, we wanted to include information on all of the State Questions slated to appear on the Oklahoma ballot. Please click HERE to view the fact sheets on each of the State Questions.
ABLE APPROVED TRAINING INFORMATION
The Oklahoma Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association is excited to announce that an ABLE Commission approved training course for Alcohol and Tobacco sales is now available!

This course will prepare all employees to sell singe-strength beer and wine, and tobacco to customers, meeting standards set forth by ABLE. The new online training service is free and available to all Association members.

The link to the ABLE Training is: http://www.ok-able-traning.com/
  • Username - OPMCA
  • Password - AbleCompliance2018

Once the training course is completed by an employee, the following steps will need to be done:
  • Type in the name as presented on ABLE license application (the certificate will self-date)
  • Once filled out, print the certificate
  • An employee's supervisor MUST sign the certificate for verification purposes
  • A copy of the signed training certificate MUST be filed at the location(s) the employee works at along with the ABLE issued license

As the laws are currently written, before October 1, 2018 an employee can receive a license without completion of a training program. However, on or after October 1, 2018, all new employees and any employee who has had a license expire will need to apply for a new license from the ABLE Commission; the employee will receive a temporary 30-day license before their permanent license is issued. Once the temporary license is obtained, they will have 14 days to complete an approved training program authorized by the ABLE Commission and receive proof of completion.
REMINDER - 2018 OCC REQUIREMENTS
