Legislators pass bill to extend cocktails-to-go until 2024 and also allow bars and restaurants to offer free drink to people who’ve received a COVID-19 vaccination

Rep. Tom Demmer, a Dixon Republican, called the package “a great initiative” that, in addition to encouraging people to get vaccinated, would “support the food and beverage industry, restaurants and bars, that were so dramatically impacted over the course of the last year and are now starting to open their doors to invite people back.”
