      The initiative was presented by Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Consumer Market Svetlana Ostrovskaya. According to her, on average, there are about 10 liters of pure alcohol per resident of the region per year. If in December 2025 the region ranked 17th in Russia in terms of alcohol consumption, by March 2026 it rose to 14th.

      The head of the committee, Mikhail Kopytov, reminded about the negative consequences of the anti-alcohol campaign during Mikhail Gorbachev's time and noted that residents' opinions on the restrictions are divided. According to him, some fear a "dry law," while others claim they will seek alternatives. Nevertheless, he suggested "taking the first step and looking at the result."

      The bill proposes to reduce the hours of alcohol sales by two hours—from 09:00 to 22:00 instead of the current 08:00—23:00. In addition, three days a year will be introduced when the sale of alcoholic beverages will be completely prohibited.
