Transferring the licensure of on-premise cereal malt beverage retailers and off-premise cereal malt beverage retailers from cities and counties to the alcoholic beverage control division of the department of revenue; allowing continued local licensure by cities or counties.

HB 2376 transfers licensing authority for cereal malt beverage retailers (both on-premise locations like bars and off-premise stores like liquor shops) from Kansas cities and counties to the state's Alcohol Beverage Control Division within the Department of Revenue. The bill allows local governments to continue issuing licenses if they choose, creating a state-level system with optional local oversight. It amends multiple sections of Kansas liquor and beverage laws to implement this change, specifically targeting "cereal malt beverages" (a category distinct from standard beer or alcohol). The bill is currently pending committee review after a hearing, with no final passage yet.
