This bill amends R.S. 26:494 to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages in the town of Winnsboro. It establishes that no person shall sell beverages of high alcoholic content in violation of any lawful ordinance or regulation adopted by local authorities. However, it introduces a specific provision for restaurants in Winnsboro, allowing those whose average monthly revenue from food and nonalcoholic beverages is at least eighty percent to sell high-alcohol content beverages until 11:00 p.m. each day of operation.

The bill aims to provide more flexibility for qualifying restaurants in Winnsboro while maintaining compliance with local regulations regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages. The new language emphasizes the importance of local ordinances while creating an exception for certain establishments that meet the specified revenue criteria.
