relative to extending the hours of alcoholic beverage sales for on-premises licensees.

HB 1227 proposed to extend the hours for selling alcoholic beverages at bars and restaurants from 2:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m., with the option for local cities and towns to allow sales until 3:00 a.m. through their own ordinances. The bill also sought to change the standard weekly sales window to run until 2:00 a.m. instead of 1:00 a.m. However, the legislation did not become law because the House Commerce Committee voted that it was inappropriate to proceed with the bill, effectively killing it.
