The act adds powdered alcohol to the definition of intoxicating liquor (Section 311.020).

The act removes the limit on the amount of liquor a person can manufacture, without a license, for personal or family use (Section 311.055).

The act enables retail establishments selling liquor by the drink within the St. Louis Lambert International Airport or the Kansas City International Airport to apply for a permit which allows patrons to leave the licensed establishment with an alcoholic beverage and carry it into other designated areas within the airport. All such retail establishments in the airport are required to serve their alcoholic beverages in containers displaying the retailer's name or logo (Section 311.179).

The act modifies provisions relating to direct wine shipment licenses. The act requires a $100 per year licensing fee and requires that the winery only ship wine from the winery premises, and that such shipped wine be manufactured on the winery premises. It also requires a winery located out of state to make monthly rather than yearly reports to the supervisor of Alcohol and Tobacco Control listing the total amount of wine shipped into the state (Section 311.185).

The act requires an alcohol carrier to apply for and receive an alcohol carrier license in order to transport and deliver shipments of intoxicating liquor directly to a resident of this state. The act sets out certain requirements the alcohol carrier licensees must meet, including obtaining the signature of a person at least 21 years of age as a condition of delivery. Licensed alcohol carriers are required to maintain certain records relating to their deliveries. Intoxicating liquor may only be shipped from a wine direct shipper or licensed retailer. However, a retailer located in this state may, without an alcohol carrier license, deliver alcohol, except powdered alcohol, directly to a resident under certain circumstances (Sections 311.186, 311.187, 311.188, and 311.420).

The act requires the supervisor of Alcohol and Tobacco Control, within the Department of Public Safety, to approve or deny any application for primary American source of supply for any intoxicating liquor product within five working days following the receipt of the properly completed application. Any application that is not approved or denied within five working days shall be considered conditionally approved and the product may be solicited, sold, shipped, ordered, purchased, and received (Section 311.275).

The act allows manufacturers of beer and wine to offer consumer cash rebate coupons. Currently, only manufacturers of intoxicating liquor other than beer or wine can offer such coupons. The act specifies that a wholesaler cannot fund the cost of any cash rebate coupon provided by manufacturers of intoxicating beverages (Section 311.355).

The act specifies that beer and other malt liquors brewed, manufactured, and sold exclusively in this state do not need a certificate of label approval or any other inspection by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau. Such products shall be under the sole supervision of the state liquor control. The act also specifies that the Supervisor of Liquor Control shall not require product samples prior to granting approval for any such products (Section 311.510).

The act repeals provisions relating to interstate reciprocal wine shipments (Section 311.462).

The act contains provisions similar to HCS/HB 433 (2017), HCS/HB 679 (2017), HB 783 (2017), HCS/HB 895 (2017), HB 963 (2017), HB 1139 (2017), SCS/SB 239 (2017), SB 359 (2017), SB 392 (2017), SCS/SB 404 (2017), and SS/SCS/HCS/HB 115 (2017).
