Authorizes licensees to remain open for extended hours of operation statewide for a specific period of time

This bill allows businesses licensed to sell alcohol for on-site consumption to stay open later than usual during a specific summer period from June 11 to July 20, 2026. Normally, these venues must close early on Sundays and other days, but this legislation temporarily overrides those standard closing times for the entire state. The change applies to all such licensees unless a local county has previously set stricter rules, though those stricter rules are suspended for this specific timeframe. Additionally, customers are permitted to consume alcohol for one extra half-hour after the official closing time begins.
