Section XXVIII-8: State and political subdivisions prohibited from engaging in business.

    The State of Oklahoma, or any political subdivision thereof, or
any board, commission or agency thereof, is hereby prohibited from
engaging in any phase of the alcoholic beverage business, including
the manufacture, sale, transportation, or distribution thereof, at
wholesale or retail, and the maintenance, ownership, or operation of
warehouses or alcoholic beverage stores; except that if the voters of
a county in which a state lodge is located approve retail sale of
alcoholic beverages by the individual drink for on-premises
consumption, and if the State Legislature enacts legislation approving
such sales in any such lodges located in any such counties, then such
sales are authorized.  The Legislature may enact laws restricting the
involvement of officers and employees of the state and political
subdivisions thereof in the alcoholic beverage business.
    Provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit the sale of alcoholic
beverages legally confiscated as provided by law.
