INDIANAPOLIS – The Alliance of Responsible Alcohol Retailers (ARAR) will announce a new legislative agenda to modernize Indiana’s outdated liquor laws during a news conference on Wednesday, Dec. 14. ARAR plans to again introduce legislation in the upcoming General Assembly session to allow Sunday carry-out alcohol sales. In addition, the group will ask lawmakers to allow cold beer sales of Indiana brewed beer at convenience, drug and grocery stores.
ARAR and supporters of the “Change It Indiana” campaign believe the time is now to make changes to Indiana’s liquor laws to allow for greater shopping convenience, expanded buying choices and more competitive pricing.
“Change It Indiana,” a statewide campaign to allow Sunday carry-out sales and cold beer sales at convenience, drug and grocery stores, has gained significant momentum. To date, more than 53,000 Hoosiers have signed the online petition in support of changing Indiana’s alcohol laws.
When:
Wednesday, Dec. 14
Where:
Statehouse
Participants at the news conference will include: Senator Phil Boots (R-Crawfordsville); Representative Cindy Noe (R-Indianapolis); Representative Sean Eberhart (R-Shelbyville); and Grant Monahan, President, Indiana Retail Council and the Alliance for Responsible Alcohol Retailers.
