MOVIE THEATERS

Movies can go past 10 but food and beverages close at 10

BOWLING ALLEYS

Must stop food and beverages at 10 p.m. but can bowl later

THE COMMISSIONER SAID ENFORCEMENT IS MORE OF AN HONOR THING THOUGH THEY WILL FOLLOW COMPLAINTS TO THEIR HOTLINE. They will work with local and state police where major problems. No one is going to enforce or show up at your home if more than 10 but they really want compliance.

Other states like CA, CO, IL, MA have dialed way back but the Commissioner said our Governor wants to TARGET PROBLEM AREAS especially with 18-35 year-olds so he is dialing back only a little.
