Hoover businesses may soon be able to include boozy Sunday brunch options on their menus.

Monday night, the Hoover City Council approved a resolution to petition the attorney general for guidelines to implement the state's "mimosa" bill in Hoover.

If passed, the proposal could allow on-premise Sunday alcohol sales starting at 10 a.m. Currently, on-premise Sunday alcohol sales begin at noon in Hoover.

"Basically, we're asking him to give us the rules for how to do this," said Hoover City Council President Gene Smith.

Some have called the bill "vague." Smith said the council needs clear instruction on if the council can independently vote on the proposal or if a public referendum is required.

The bill passed in state legislature last year said the 10 a.m. Sunday sale start time only applies to other counties or municipalities where Sunday alcohol sales are already allowed.

"This would really benefit our convention centers and restaurants that want to serve Sunday brunch at events," Smith said, adding the earlier sales could benefit many businesses in Hoover.

The council expects an answer back from the attorney general within two to three weeks.

Birmingham city officials previously discussed the law last year, but it failed to make it on the ballot in August.
