Alcohol Sales Move Earlier on Sundays Under New Bill

A push to let voters decide, county by county, if restaurants and other businesses should serve alcohol on Sunday mornings cleared the Legislature. The House and Senate agreed Saturday on a bill that would allow county referendums to move the start of some Sunday alcohol sales from 1 p.m. to 10 a.m. Restaurants, distilleries and wineries are among the businesses that would be able to sell on-site booze earlier. The bill heads to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin for his approval.
