The legislative committee chair says their recommendations likely won't include action on the controversial issue of Sunday alcohol carryout sales.

Indiana House Public Policy Chairman Tom Dermody of LaPorte says he's working on a bill legalizing Sunday sales that he expects to file next week.

Alcohol sales of any kind in Indiana have long been banned on Christmas Day. But the change in state law that took effect in July allows Indiana residents to buy alcohol at any restaurant, bar, liquor store or grocery store that's open starting this Christmas Day.
