Alcoholic beverages; revise certain provisions regarding distance restrictions from churches, schools, kindergartens and funeral homes.
HB 263 revises Mississippi law to remove distance restrictions that previously prohibited the sale or storage of alcoholic beverages within certain distances of churches, schools, kindergartens, and funeral homes. The bill specifically exempts certain locations from these restrictions, allowing alcohol sales at those designated places near the mentioned institutions. This change would directly affect alcohol retailers seeking to operate in proximity to schools, churches, or funeral homes at the exempted locations. The bill does not alter other existing alcohol regulations in Mississippi.
