SCS/SBs 672 & 774 - This act combines all of the provisions of SB 672 and SB 774.

Liquor wholesalers must sell to retailers at the scheduled invoice price. Liquor wholesalers can not take purchase orders to be delivered in a subsequent calendar month from that in which the order was placed. An exception is if both consent and the order and delivery take place, respectively, within the last and first three days of consecutive calendar months. This part of the substitute has penalty provisions.

Sunday liquor sales would be permitted to begin at 9 a.m. instead of 11 a.m. for "amusement places" of 5,000 square feet or more (Section 311.098), and in restaurant bars or "places of entertainment" (Section 311.102) within St. Louis County, the City of St. Louis and Jackson County. Qualifying golf driving ranges and horse arenas have been added to the definition of amusement places.

Section 311.328, RSMo, has been amended to require a driver's license of any state or U.S. territory to be presented to a liquor control agent upon request. Current law only required licenses of contiguous states to be presented.

Additionally, Sections 311.093 and 311.260 are repealed, which, respectively, allow Sunday liquor sales at a specified St. Louis ballroom and limits licensees to three liquor licenses.
