The Minnesota House will vote Monday on whether to repeal the long-standing ban on Sunday liquor store sales.

For years, advocates have claimed the ban is a historical throwback, curtails business freedom and inconveniences consumers. Opponents say the ban has worked just fine in Minnesota for decades, helps small liquor stores manage competition against bigger box stores and helps municipal stores survive.

Although the House and Senate have taken repeated votes on the repeal over the years, all those efforts have failed. The issue also came to the floors as amendments. This is the first year the Sunday sales efforts have moved through committees to arrive on the full House floor in the regular fashion.

DFL Gov. Mark Dayton has said he would sign the repeal if the measure reaches his desk.

A similar measure has not yet begun moving in the Minnesota Senate, where the support for the repeal is less clear.
