Title

Alcoholic Beverages, municipal option elections allowed in all municipalities with a population over 1,000, Secs. 28-2A-1, 28-2A-3 am'd.

Description

Currently, any municipality, excluding municipalities in Clay, Randolph, and Blount Counties, having a population of 1,000 or more may determine by a local option election whether alcoholic beverages may be legally sold and distributed within the corporate limits of the municipalities.

This bill would decrease the population threshold from 1,000 to 500 for municipalities to change from dry to wet.

This bill would remove the exception for municipalities in Clay, Randolph, and Blount Counties which would allow them to determine by a local option election whether alcoholic beverages may be legally sold and distributed within the corporate limits of the municipalities.
