Tulsa Health Department Is Hosting New Alcohol Law Forum Today

The Tulsa Health Department is hosting a forum this afternoon to help people learn about the state's new alcohol laws that'll go into effect on October 1st.

There are a lot of new rules soon to be on the books, so the Tulsa Health Department says they want to help people understand how the law will work.

The new law allows grocery and convenience stores to sell wine and strong beer.
