House for Personal Liquor Sales Seeks Passage

The bill allows any citizen to bring in three gallons of legal liquor at a time for personal use from adjoining wet states, with a $2 annual permit fee. It also proposes relaxing drug store liquor rules to allow prescriptions or affidavits and lowers taxes on liquor. The state bans production or sale, but permits personal importation. A county clerk can issue permits directly, replacing the state tax commissioner. Delegate Rairden leads opposition, arguing the measure would turn homes into saloons.
