SB 774 - This act 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 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Additionally, Sections 311.093 and 311.260 are repealed, which, respectively, allow Sunday liquor sales at a specified St. Louis ballroom and limits licensees to three liquor licenses.
