Modifies provisions relating to illegal gambling

HB 1251 primarily updates Missouri's liquor licensing regulations, not gambling laws (despite its title). It replaces existing liquor control sections with new provisions governing license requirements, penalties for violations, and business conduct rules for liquor sellers. Key changes include: establishing tiered civil penalties based on business size (e.g., $50-$5,000 fines for retailers), requiring licensees to remove gambling devices within 10 days upon notice, and mandating referral of suspected illegal gambling activity to the Missouri Gaming Commission. The bill directly affects licensed liquor retailers, wholesalers, and solicitors by modifying enforcement procedures and financial penalties.
