Authorizes a temporary extension of hours for alcoholic beverage sales by certain liquor licensees for the duration of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament

HB 1265 allows licensed bars and restaurants (with existing liquor licenses for on-premises consumption) to operate 24 hours a day for alcohol sales during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament, from June 11 to July 19, 2026. It specifically permits sales between 6 a.m. and 5 a.m. the next day without requiring new permits or special licenses, though local governments may opt out or set minimum hours via local ordinances. The bill directly affects licensed establishments in cities, counties, or districts that qualify under existing liquor laws. It expires on July 20, 2026, and does not override local restrictions beyond the specified temporary period.
