| House Panel Delays Vote On
Minibottle Bill |
 (Columbia-AP) -- A House Judiciary Committee
delayed action on minibottles today at least until next
week.
The move leaves doubt about whether the bill will
have enough time to pass this session with just a few weeks
remaining.
The bill has already passed the Senate. It
would allow voters to decide the fate of
minibottles.
Minibottles are one-point-seven-ounce
liquor bottles that restaurant and bars are required to use
when serving alcoholic drinks. South Carolina is the only
state that requires the bottles.
Winnsboro
Representative Creighton Coleman moved to adjourn debate on
the bill before any discussion.
Charleston
Representative John Graham Altman tried to table the motion,
but it narrowly failed.
Coleman has said the state will
lose six to seven million dollars if it dumps
minibottles.
