Modifies provisions relating to the establishment of certain entertainment districts
HB 2057 creates a new "entertainment district special license" for designated areas in Missouri that meet specific criteria, such as being located in a city with 4,400-4,900 residents bordering a lake with at least 1,000 miles of shoreline. This license allows participating bars, restaurants, and portable bars within the district to sell alcohol by the drink until 1:30 a.m. on weekdays and from 6 a.m. on Sundays until 1:30 a.m. on Mondays. It permits patrons to move alcohol between licensed venues within the district boundaries (but not outside) and requires establishments to serve drinks in containers marked with their unique logo. Licensees must pay a $300 annual fee and are solely responsible for alcohol violations on their premises or in common areas.
