Soon you will be able to buy beer, wine or liquor on Sundays in Indiana.
Realizing that there is no need to delay the effective date of Indiana Sunday retail alcohol sales, on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, the Indiana House Public Policy Committee passed an amended version of the previously passed Senate Bill 1 allowing Sunday Alcohol sales. The already approved Bill was scheduled to be effective July 1, 2019, and would permit retail sellers of alcohol to sell on Sundays from 12:00 pm until 8:00pm.
“If we’re going to allow the people of Indiana to buy carryout on Sunday, then why are we waiting?” Ben Smaltz, Republican from Auburn said. “What infrastructure needs to go in place?”
July 1, 2019 is the typical effective date for new legislation, such as the Indiana Sunday alcohol sales Bill. The new amended Bill would be effective upon signature by Governor Holcomb, or, if vetoed, the House and Senate can override the veto by a constitutional majority vote in both of their respective chambers and the Bill becomes law without the Governor's signature.
