COLUMBUS, Ohio — Gov. Mike DeWine signed HB-669 into law Tuesday which makes pandemic alcoholic drinks-to-go a permanent fixture in Ohio.
To-go alcoholic beverages were first allowed earlier this spring during the state’s push to flatten the COVID-19 curve.
At a time when dine-in restaurants were operating for under delivery and curbside pickup only, DeWine allowed establishments to sell alcohol that a customer could take with them.
Ohio was one of many states that had similar alcohol-to-go measures in place.
The bill was sponsored Republican representatives D.J. Swearingen - District 89 and Jeff LaRe - District 77. You can read the full bill, here.
