Kansas lawmakers weigh bill to allow strong beer sales in groceries
Editorial notes a revised House Bill 2556 to let grocery and convenience stores sell hard liquor and beer with phased rollout over 10 years. It would bar new Class A licenses within half a mile of existing ones, extend to 10 miles in rural areas, and require licenses to be sold to new buyers. It argues for gradual change and broader competition while preserving liquor stores’ role.
