Representatives Sean Eberhart, R-Shelbyville, and Terri Austin, D-Anderson, proposed their jointly written legislation last week to the Indiana House of Representatives. It is currently under review by the Public Policy Committee.
Currently, liquor and grocery stores are not permitted to sell any alcohol on Sundays or on Christmas day.
Restaurants and breweries can sell alcohol seven days a week between 7 a.m. and 3 a.m.
If passed, the bill would become effective July 1, 2015. Alcohol could be sold from ?7 a.m. Sunday to 3 a.m. the following day.
Eberhart and Austin proposed similar legislation in 2013, but was not brought to a vote by the Public Policy Committee due to lack of interest by the committee chairman Bill Davis, according to a release.
