The Montana House passed, 81-13, and sent to Gov Greg Gianforte a bill that would allow the sale of distilled spirits from state agency liquor stores on Sunday and Monday. The measure previously passed the Senate.

The **Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S.** urged Gianforte to sign the measure. “Across the country, states have modernized their marketplaces regarding alcohol sales laws, and since 2002, 21 states have passed laws permitting Sunday sales year-round, including a number of other control states,” said **Andy Deloney**, senior vp and head of state public policy for DISCUS. “Montana remains one of only seven states that still has a Sunday sales ban. We respectfully ask Gov. Gianforte to approve House Bill 867 in support of Montana consumers, local businesses and state revenues.”
