The state Senate passed legislation last week to allow single-screen theaters like downtown Vancouver’s Kiggins Theatre and the Liberty Theatre in Camas to serve beer and wine.
The measure was sponsored by Representative Jim Moeller (D-Vancouver) as a way to help independent theaters realize an additional revenue stream.
“I’m elated that a majority of senators recognized the commonsense reasoning behind this legislation,” said Moeller. “We in the House soon will concur with relatively minor Senate amendments to the measure and send it on to the governor’s desk.”
