State Senate could vote on 'Mimosa Mandate'

ATLANTA - There is a push to allow earlier alcohol sales on Sunday which may soon hit the State Senate floor.

Tuesday the proposal was amended to exclude retail sales like those in grocery stores and gas stations.

But it would allow restaurants and wineries to start selling alcohol at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

If the so-called Mimosa Mandate passes, earlier sales would also need to be approved in a local referendum.
