Nassau County may change Sunday alcohol sales rules

The Nassau County Commission is considering changing an ordinance to standardize the times alcohol can be sold on Sundays.

Currently, resort areas like Amelia Island can start selling alcohol at 7 p.m. Sundays, while restaurants who serve food throughout the county can sell alcohol with food starting a noon. Retail sales at grocery and convenience stores can't begin until 2 p.m.

According to the Fernandina Beach News-Leader, a public hearing will be scheduled in late November before the Board of Commissioners votes on new rules.
