House Bill 890, after an hour-long discussion Monday, May 10, moved out of the House Alcoholic Beverage Control Committee and on to the Rules Committee. A budget-related amendment in the ABC Committee ensured that the bill would not have to meet this week’s legislative crossover deadline. The content of the bill when, and if, it makes it to the House floor is anyone’s guess.
No issue before N.C. lawmakers is more divisive than how the state regulates spirituous liquor. Debate over this bill, like others before it loosening ABC rules, will be no different, each contingent effectively daring the other to blink.

During that limited time UPD staff processed 20,969 claims among all 100 counties and distributed slightly more than $1.4 million.
