Atmore Approves Sunday Alcohol Sales

January 16, 2018

The city of Atmore has unanimously approved a resolution to allow Sunday alcohol sales after 10 a.m.

Now that the resolution has passed, the local legislative delegation will introduce a bill in the Alabama Legislature for final approval. Once the bill passes, it would head to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey for a signature making it effective.

Last year, Ivey signed a bill passed on the last day of the legislative session allowing cities or counties to authorize businesses to begin alcohol sales at 10 a.m. Sundays under ordinance or resolution.

    Government has no right to dictate how any private transaction is made between private parties.
