Minnesota One Step Closer to Legalizing Liquor Sales on Sundays

The Senate Commerce Committee approved the bill on a 7-4 vote

ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Minnesota Senate committee has moved the state one step closer to legalizing Sunday liquor sales.

The Senate Commerce Committee approved the bill on a 7-4 vote.

The House overwhelmingly passed it earlier this week.

It’s an historic turn in the long struggle by many to repeal the decades-old law.

The bill still must pass the full Senate floor.

It’s unclear when that may come up for a final vote.

Gov. Dayton has said he’ll sign a bill legalizing Sunday sales.
