COLUMBUS, Ohio â A bill allowing home delivery of distilled spirits and removing some liquor sale provisions is now up for approval from Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine after the House voted in favor of its passage.
House Bill 674 revises current liquor laws, allowing the Ohio Division of Liquor Control to implement rules permitting home delivery of distilled spirits in original containers.

Cooper in a written statement. With cases and hospitalizations high around the country, let s all do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 while supporting local, small businesses safely.
