Governor Signs Bill To Impose Liquor Curfew
Governor Coke R Stevenson signed a curfew bill tightening alcohol hours and banning public beer drinking during certain times. The measure becomes operative mid August as the senate failed to pass the emergency clause and sales hours shift to early morning to evening weekdays with beer allowed until midnight on weekdays and later on Saturdays. Public consumption window lasts 15 minutes after sales end and Sunday beer sales begin at 1 p.m.
