South Carolina bill allows Sunday liquor sales in counties or municipalities with voter approval.

The bill amends South Carolina law to permit Sunday liquor sales between 1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. in counties or municipalities where voters approve it. The South Carolina Department of Revenue issues permits for this purpose, subject to a $3,000 annual fee. The permit fee is waived if the applicant owns the retail premises and has no other retail locations with Sunday liquor sales permits. A referendum can be called by petition or ordinance, with specific timing and notice requirements. The bill also outlines penalties for violating its provisions.
