Introduced

SB 615 - Under current law, anyone who possesses a license to sell liquor in the original package may apply for an additional license to sell liquor on Sundays from 9 a.m. until midnight. In addition, various laws give certain specified establishments, such as airline clubs, places of amusement, and restaurant bars, the opportunity to apply for a license to sell liquor by the drink at retail on Sundays.

This act allows any liquor license holder to apply for a license to sell liquor at retail on Sundays from 9 a.m. until midnight except certain establishments in St. Louis and Kansas City that can apply for such licenses under different statutory authority. The cost of the Sunday license is $200. In addition, this act repeals statutes that allowed Sunday liquor licenses for specific types of license holders because those licensees can apply for the Sunday license under this act.

A provision in one of the repealed statutes that allows restaurant bars in sports stadiums in Jackson County to open at 8 a.m. rather than 9 a.m. is reenacted in this act.
