Bill would extend liquor sales extra hour
LIQUOR from page 1
later in Omaha might fly, but there
would probably be some hesitancy in
Lincoln. c
“It’s up to the city if they want to
fit or not,” he said. v
One concern that has arisen is later
liquor sales could lead to intoxicated
people on the street. Sen, Stan
Schellpeper of Stanton has introduced
LB247, which would make it illegal
for bars to serve people who are vis
ibly intoxicated.
Visible intoxication is defined in
the bill as having a strong smell of li
quor on one’s breath, glassy eyes,
slurred speech, staggering or aggres
sive behavior.

It’s up to the city if they want to do it
> or not.”
Sen. John Hilgert
:
There is currently a liquor commis
sion rule that prohibits serving intoxi
cated people, but it is not always en
forced, Schellpeper said.
“We had some hearings last fall
across the state and people did testify
that some bars will serve people who
are intoxicated, though it’s very hard
to prove in court,” he said.
Schellpeper said the bill might
have a tough time passing because the
law would be hard to enforce.
“It!s one of those sound-good bills
that heeds to be discussed but some
thing that would be hard to make
work,” he said.
