Connecticut residents can now buy alcohol on Sundays — starting today.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy a bill amending Connecticut’s Blue Laws, giving permittees the option of selling liquor and beer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
The law went into effect immediately. Permittees are now alcohol on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day, and on Mondays following a Christmas or New Year's Day holiday that falls on a Sunday.
State Rep. Rosa Rebimbas, who helped orchestrate the law, gave support of its passage . The only state left to prohibit Sunday liquor sales is Indiana.
