Alabama House Okays Draft Beer In Wet Counties
The House Health Committee approved a bill to legalize draft beer in any wet county and sent it back to the House on a record vote. The panel also advanced two meat inspection bills assigning duties to either the State Health Department or the Agriculture Department to avoid federal control under the Wholesome Meat Act. Senate Rules discussed Gov. Brewer’s renomination of all ABC Board members, with Sen. Emmet Oden's objection to Frank Potts’ reappointment delaying full board naming.
