Bill > HB113

This bill establishes a new provision of Louisiana law (R.S. 26:496) specifically addressing alcohol sales in Washington Parish. The bill grants the governing authorities of Washington Parish and its municipalities the power to regulate alcohol sales and consumption, but explicitly prevents them from implementing a complete prohibition on selling or consuming high or low alcohol content beverages. This means local governments in Washington Parish can create rules and restrictions around alcohol sales, such as setting hours of sale or establishing specific licensing requirements, but cannot entirely ban the sale or consumption of alcoholic drinks. The provision is designed to provide local jurisdictions with flexibility in alcohol regulation while ensuring that some level of alcohol sales remains permitted in the parish.
