The Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board may issue a license to licensed clubs and other retail alcoholic beverage licensees within the county or any municipality located therein to sell or dispense alcoholic beverages for off-premises consumption on Sundays, any other law to the contrary notwithstanding. Licensed clubs and retail licensees granted such a license may sell or dispense alcoholic beverages pursuant to the requirements of the license and applicable regulations of the board.
(2) If sales of alcoholic beverages are to be allowed on Sundays within Lowndes County, before such sales shall commence, the County Commission of Lowndes County, by resolution, shall call for a referendum within Lowndes County to determine if the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sundays will be allowed in Lowndes County. Thereafter, the Lowndes County Commission or the governing body of any municipality located within the county, as applicable, by resolution or ordinance passed by a simple majority, may regulate, but may not prohibit, the sale for off-premises consumption of alcoholic beverages on Sunday by licensed clubs and retail licensees of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to the general public.
(b) The provisions of this section are cumulative and supplemental to the present power and authority of the Lowndes County Commission and any municipal governing body in the county, and are not intended to, nor shall it be interpreted so as to repeal any existing power or authority of those governing bodies consistent with this section that are now permitted under the general laws of the state, or under any local or special act of the Legislature.
