HB 1367 January 28, 2013 Job 17846

Explanation or reason f

Alcoholic beverages on Sunday

Minutes: Attachment 1

Committee called to order.

Hearing on HB opened 1367

Representative Boehning: This bill would bring about a Sunday opening at am 10:00 versus noon. The bill leaves it up to local subdivisions whether they want to have liquor sales on Sunday. Neighboring states do allow opening on Sundays. Provided 10:00 specifics for Minnesota and Montana. Explained rationale behind proposed changed, including Sunday brunches, weekend tourists, and tailgating at sport events. Attachment 1 lists alcohol laws by state. It's all up to local control to allow the sale of alcohol on Sunday mornings. Requesting a do pass.

Representative Boschee: Why is this limited to alcohol?

Representative Boehning: There is a different bill relating to Sunday opening in general for retail sales.

Support:

Rudie Martinson, executive director of North Dakota Hospitality Association: The one complaint I get from my membership is that during football and NASCAR seasons, games start at or before noon, and businesses would like to open before that. Right now, those businesses will allow people to come in but will not serve alcohol to them before noon.

Mike Rud, North Dakota Petroleum Marketers and the North Dakota Retail Association: Convenience store owners are looking for more streams of revenue. When you look at Attachment , there are a lot of states with early morning openings and alcohol 1 sales. We would be uniform with the rest of the week if we change to am in terms of 8:00 when we can open. House Industry, Business and Labor Committee HB 1367 January 28, 2013 Page 2

Chairman Keiser: This bill is proposing both on sale and off sale. Minnesota has no off sale for that first period. Do you have a position on off sale as being critically important during that time period?

Mike Rud: Off sale is very important to us. In the convenience store business, most of the alcohol they sell is off sale.

Chairman Keiser: Do we have any measure on what the financial impact will be?

Mike Rud: The impact will be substantial. On the lake, you may have to turn away 20 to 30customers on a Sunday morning, just at one location.

Opposition:

Neutral:

Hearing closed.

Motion to do pass: Representative Kasper makes the motion; Representative Boschee seconds the motion.

Representative N. Johnson: Where does this permit the sale of offsale?

Representative Boehning: This is what we are governed by on the 2:00am closing, so I am assuming this would cover both on sale and off sale.
