Title: Anniston, alcoholic beverages, sale for off-premise consumption each day of the week
Summary: SB182 allows Anniston to permit daily sale of alcoholic beverages for on- and off-premises consumption by licensed clubs and ABC-licensed retailers, subject to city approval and local regulation.
What This Bill Does
The bill applies only to the City of Anniston and creates the Anniston Ecotourism Beverage Bill. On-premises alcohol sales would be allowed every day if the city governing body votes to approve by majority. Off-premises alcohol sales would be allowed every day if the city governing body votes to approve by majority. The city governing body can regulate the sale to the general public but cannot prohibit it; sales must follow existing ABC Board rules, and the act is supplemental to current powers.
