FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Department of Public Safety, Missouri State Highway Patrol assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency.

Officials of the Department of Public Safety, Division of Liquor Control (DLS) assume that this proposal would result in an additional 20 Sunday Bar Amusement licenses being issued at $200 per license. Because licenses are paid for in advance, total collections would be $7,333 in FY99 ($3,333 for FY99 licenses plus $4,000 for FY00 licenses), and $4,000 in FY00 and FY01.

DLS further assumes that this proposal would result in additional revenues for counties and cities, as statutes allow cities to charge one and one-half times the amount the state charges for liquor licenses, and allow counties to charge the same amount per license. DLS estimates that half of the 20 new Sunday Bar Amusement licenses would be located in cities, resulting in revenue of $3,500 (10 licenses x $350 per license) annually. In addition, counties would receive revenues of $4,000 (20 licenses x $200 per license) annually.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

Small business who choose to purchase this type of license would be fiscally impacted, as they may generate additional income due to Sunday liquor sales.

DESCRIPTION

This proposal revises the times and places at which liquor can be sold on Sundays and revises three other sections of Chapter 311, RSMo. Sunday liquor sales would be permitted to begin at 9 am instead of 11 am for "amusement places" of 5,000 square feet or more, including qualifying golf driving ranges and horse arenas, and in restaurant bars or "places of entertainment" within St. Louis County, the City of St. Louis, and Jackson County.

This proposal also amends Section 311.328, RSMo, 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 requires 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 Additionally, Sections 311.093 and 311.260 are repealed, which, respectively, allow Sunday liquor sales at a specified St. Louis ballroom and limits licensees to three liquor licenses.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program, and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
