State Rep. Mike Duffey Applauds House Passage of Bill Allowing Open Containers at the North Market
Bill provides a business-friendly enhancement of the Short North
The Ohio House of Representatives today passed House Bill 37 with broad bipartisan support. HB 37, sponsored by State Representatives Mike Duffey (R-Worthington) and Michael Stinziano (D-Columbus), will help the many small businesses located in Central Ohio’s historic North Market by allowing a person to possess beer or liquor on the premises without violating Ohio law if the beverage was purchased by a qualified permit holder in that market.
