SB 482 - Current law authorizes certain counties to establish a theater, cultural arts, and entertainment district. This act adds counties that border the Lake of the Ozarks to the list of counties authorized to establish such districts. Additionally, this act authorizes the city of Lake Ozark to establish an entertainment district in which licensed establishments may sell intoxicating liquor by the drink for consumption within the common areas of the entertainment district during certain hours as provided in the act. Establishments shall apply for an entertainment district special license and shall pay an annual license fee of $300.
A holder of an entertainment district special license shall be solely responsible for alcohol violations occurring at its establishment and in any common areas.
This act is substantially similar to HCS/HB 643 (2025) and SB 1431 (2024), and to provisions in HB 2068 (2024) and HB 2348 (2024).
