The bill amends section 4303.182 and enacts section 4301.392 of the Revised Code to allow municipal corporations and townships in Ohio to permit Sunday sales of intoxicating liquor without requiring local option election approval. Specifically, the legislative authority of a municipal corporation or the board of township trustees can adopt an ordinance or resolution to allow such sales under a D-6 permit. The bill also clarifies that while local option elections remain valid, any ordinance or resolution adopted can be superseded by a local option election.

Additionally, the bill modifies the conditions under which a D-6 permit can be issued, allowing for Sunday sales at various establishments, including publicly owned airports, hotels, sports facilities, and outdoor performing arts centers, among others. It also specifies that the D-6 permit fee varies depending on the type of permit held by the applicant. The bill ensures that Sunday sales authorized under a valid D-6 permit can occur during the same hours as sales on other days of the week, and it repeals the existing section 4303.182 of the Revised Code.
