AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 4 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.

Sunday sales of spirits, wine and beer were permitted on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve 1995. Sales by Delaware package stores on those days were an unqualified success on those two Sundays. The states of Maryland and New Jersey permit sales of spirits, wine and beer every Sunday, in large part to attract business from other states, including Delaware. Section 1 of this Bill allows the sale of spirits, wine and beer between 1:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. on Sundays that fall in the month of December, the busiest month for sales of spirits, wine and beer. The other designated holidays, including Sundays outside of December, remain the same. Section 2 of this Bill clarifies that the sale of spirits, wine and beer on Sundays that fall in the month of December is permitted only in package stores and not in taverns or taprooms.
