MO HB1311

Creates a simplified retail licensing system with two license types: original package (not for on-premises consumption) and poured liquor (for on-premises consumption), available in 10-year ($3,000), 1-year ($300), or special event ($50) terms

Shifts retail licensing authority from the state supervisor of alcohol and tobacco control to counties and municipalities, which collect state fees and remit them to the state

Eliminates numerous existing license categories including Sunday licenses, resort licenses, convention trade area permits, entertainment district licenses, and various temporary/catering permits

Removes specific hours-of-operation restrictions from state law, including Sunday sale limitations and 1:30 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. closure requirements, leaving such regulations to local authorities

Requires criminal background checks for all retail license applicants and mandates at least two inspections during a 10-year license period, with inspections spaced at least six months apart
