- In the several counties, or portions thereof, and in the several municipalities wherein separate local option election may be held under the provisions hereof, in which no local option election is held, or, if held, a majority of votes cast therein are against local option, then as to that county or portion thereof, or municipality, nothing in this chapter shall be so construed as to modify in any respect the statutes now in force relating to the manufacture, sale, transportation, and/or possession of intoxicating liquors, but the same shall remain in full force and effect.
- It shall be lawful to transport alcoholic beverages through such counties in which no local option election is held, or if the election is held and the majority of votes cast therein are against local option, if, in either such case, such beverages are in sealed bottles or containers, and are moving from a duly licensed manufacturer to a licensed wholesaler, or from a wholesaler to a licensed retailer, and such shipment is accompanied by a bill of lading or other instrument in writing showing the destination of such alcoholic beverages.
- Whenever any county or municipality wherein traffic in alcoholic beverages has been legalized, shall, by a majority vote in a local option election held as set out herein, prohibit such traffic, all licensed dealers in such county or municipality shall have ninety (90) days from the final determination of the results of the election to dispose of their stocks of alcoholic beverages and wind up their businesses.
