Alcoholic beverages; allow holders of package retailer's permits to sell on Sunday.
HB 1348 would remove the current ban on Sunday alcohol sales for businesses holding package retailer permits (stores selling sealed alcohol containers, not restaurants or bars). This specifically affects licensed liquor stores under Mississippi's local option law, allowing them to sell alcohol on Sundays without changing other hours restrictions (10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily). The bill does not alter existing rules about sales to intoxicated individuals or other permit requirements. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was not enacted.
