SB 393 Kansas Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorizing any county or city to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages 23 hours a day, seven days a week for the duration of the FIFA 2026 world cup.

SB 393 temporarily allows licensed bars, restaurants, and retailers in Kansas to sell alcohol 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the 2026 FIFA World Cup (June 11-July 19, 2026). This overrides Kansas’ usual alcohol sales laws (like K.S.A. 41-712) for venues authorized to sell alcohol on-premises or in original packages. Local governments can opt out by passing a resolution or ordinance, reverting to standard sales hours. The change expires July 20, 2026, and applies only to the World Cup duration.

What changed between versions

As Introduced → As Amended by Senate Committee on Commerce · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was amended to clarify that counties and cities must actively choose to allow 24/7 alcohol sales during the 2026 World Cup, rather than having it apply automatically. Additionally, a new requirement was added mandating that local governments submit their decisions to the state director of alcoholic beverage control. These changes shift the policy from a broad default allowance to a specific opt-in mechanism with increased state oversight.
Scope change
The bill's applicability changed from a general authorization for all licensed entities to a specific authorization only for entities located in jurisdictions that have explicitly elected to permit such sales.
ELIGIBILITY

Extended 24/7 sales are no longer automatic; they now only apply if a county or city has passed a resolution or ordinance specifically electing to allow them.

REQUIREMENT

Local governments that elect to allow 24/7 sales must now submit a copy of their resolution or ordinance to the director of alcoholic beverage control.

SCOPE

The language was updated to explicitly state that the extended hours apply only to entities located in cities or unincorporated county areas that have made the election to allow sales.
