Bill > HB1041

This bill makes several modifications to Missouri's alcohol-related laws, focusing primarily on inspection fees for malt liquor, wine taxation, and providing a special alcohol service extension for the 2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament. Specifically, the bill changes the inspection and gauging fees for malt liquors, reducing the fee from $1.86 per barrel to $0.62 per barrel for American-brewed malt liquors and maintaining the $1.86 rate for foreign import malt liquors through 2025. The bill also adjusts wine-related taxes, reducing the per-gallon tax from 30 to 21 cents, and introduces a new provision allowing licensed establishments to serve alcohol for extended hours (6:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.) during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Tournament from June 11 to July 19. Additionally, the bill allows local jurisdictions to opt out of or modify the extended alcohol service hours through a local ordinance. The legislation also includes provisions for donating alcoholic beverages for charitable auctions and modifying rules around manufacturer rebates and coupons. The changes to certain sections of the law will become effective on July 1, 2026.
