HB 643 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the establishment of lakefront entertainment districts

HB 643 creates a new "lakefront entertainment district" designation for areas near lakes with at least 1,000 miles of shoreline, specifically targeting cities with 1,900-7,000 residents and matching county populations. It allows special licenses for alcohol sales from 6 a.m. to 3 a.m. daily (until 1:30 a.m. Sundays) within these districts, requiring a $300 annual license fee per district. Businesses must serve alcohol only in containers marked with their unique logo, and all alcohol consumption must stay within district boundaries - no outside carry-out is permitted. The bill also makes district license holders jointly liable for violations at licensed venues, portable bars, and common areas, while requiring local governments to approve districts via ordinance. The bill is pending further action after passing a committee vote in April 2025.
