MADISON, WI ? The Wisconsin Legislature tomorrow will consider a proposal to allow grocery and liquor stores to start selling alcoholic beverages two hours earlier, the Associated Press reports.

Currently, beer and alcohol sales at stores licensed to sell for off-premises consumption begins at 8 a.m. The bill before the Assembly?s Homeland Security and State Affairs Committee would allow those sales to begin at 6 a.m.

Representative Evan Wynn is the bill?s sponsor, and he said it does not change the required ending time for liquor sales of 9 p.m. and beer sales of midnight.
