Alcoholic beverages; increase number of package retailer's permits a person may own.
HB 558 would amend Mississippi law to allow a person to own up to two package retailer's permits (for stores selling sealed alcoholic beverages) instead of the current limit of one permit. This change applies to existing permit holders who wish to expand their business operations, subject to department approval under specified conditions. The bill directly affects business owners operating alcohol package stores in Mississippi. However, the bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, and did not become law.
