To-go liquor sales, a lifeline for many Kansas restaurants and bars, could become a permanent option even after the pandemic subsides. The Kansas House passed a measure Monday that permits bars and restaurants to continue offering curbside pick-up for alcoholic beverages. The to-go provision was due to expire March 31. It was included as an amendment to a bill authorizing some businesses to sell 3.2%, or low-alcohol, beer. “This permanent change will create certainty and continue to be helpful for many restaurateurs,” said Rep. Kristey Williams, R-Augusta, the amendment’s sponsor. “This reform would allow closed restaurateurs, closed business owners to put dollars back in their pocket by simply streamlining the law.”
