If the bill passes the Georgia House, earlier Sunday alcohol sales at restaurants and wineries would have to be approved in referendums on the local level.

Georgians would be able to purchase alcohol at restaurants and wineries on Sunday mornings under a proposal approved Tuesday by state senators.

The Senate voted 38-18 in favor of allowing on-premise consumption to begin at 11 a.m. on Sundays.

Off-premise sales, such as those at supermarkets, would remain illegal until 12:30 p.m. on Sundays.
