BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Senate has passed a bill that allows alcohol to be sold earlier on Sundays.

Republican Sen. Scott Meyer, of Grand Forks, said he proposed the legislation to help the service industry which has been dealing with restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Currently, bars and restaurants can’t serve alcohol from 2 a.m. to 11 a.m. Sundays. And liquor stores can’t sell alcohol until noon on Sundays.

Meyer’s bill would move up alcohol sales to 8 a.m., like the rest of the week, the Bismarck Tribune reported.

1. I'm reminded of a Janis Joplin quote from a video of a Sunday during her Canadian tour

when no alcohol was sold: "If anybody needs a drink it's on Sunday"!
