BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) — Residents of Beatrice can now buy liquor on Sunday morning.

The Beatrice City Council on Monday approved the change to mirror what is now allowed in state law. The Legislature earlier this year allowed the sale of liquor from 6 a.m. to noon on Sunday. The previous restriction was that sales could begin at noon.

The change in the Beatrice ordinance was requested by the Beatrice Eagles Club.
