Alcoholic beverages; allow local authorities of wet jurisdictions to permit package retail sales on Sunday.
SB 2881 would allow counties, municipalities, tribes, or other political subdivisions in Mississippi that permit alcohol sales (known as "wet" jurisdictions) to authorize package liquor stores to sell on Sundays through local ordinances. Currently, package retailers in these areas cannot sell alcohol on Sundays under state law. The bill does not require retailers to sell on Sundays - they can continue operating Monday through Saturday if they choose. The bill died in committee in February 2026 and was never enacted.
