Retail stores are no longer included in a proposal to allow Georgians to purchase alcohol on Sunday mornings.
By a non-unanimous vote, the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee on Tuesday backed an amended bill that would allow for on-premise consumption at restaurants and wineries to begin at 11 a.m. on Sunday.
Off-premise sales, such as those at supermarkets, would remain illegal until 12:30 p.m. on Sundays.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Cowsert had expressed frustration last week when retail stores were added to the so-called “mimosa mandate.”
