Delaware HB433 amends Title 4 of the Delaware Code to modify the prohibition of sales and delivery of alcoholic liquor for on-premises consumption. It allows counties and municipalities to set their own closing hours, up to 2:00 a.m., by ordinance. The bill maintains the provision that no licensee shall be required to be open to sell alcoholic liquors on Sundays, Thanksgiving, Easter, or Christmas. This change provides local governments with more flexibility in regulating the sale of alcohol within their jurisdictions.
