Subcommittee lists Sunday liquor sales bill but hears limited testimony
Summary
House Bill 4001 (Sunday liquor sales) was listed on today’s agenda; committee members and witnesses referenced it in questions but most testimony focused on delivery and distillery measures. Chair Britton said remaining witnesses could appear next Tuesday.
House Bill 4001, which would allow Sunday liquor sales, was listed alongside two other alcohol-related measures but drew only limited direct testimony in the subcommittee session.
Chair Case Britton identified the bill on the agenda and witnesses referenced Sunday sales when contrasting the scope of other proposals. Brent Doolittle, a multi-location independent liquor store owner, opposed both delivery and expanded Sunday sales for operational and staffing reasons. Chris Crowe of Burnt Church Distillery noted existing limits on distillery bottle sales and tour hours, and he framed limited Sunday sales for distilleries as a tourism-related accommodation rather than general expansion of retail hours.
Committee members repeatedly said the bills are lengthy and complex and signaled they will continue hearings and take additional testimony next Tuesday. No formal action or vote on H 4001 was taken at the session.
