Bill > SB393

This bill authorizes any county or city in Kansas to permit the sale of alcoholic beverages and cereal malt beverages 24 hours a day, seven days a week, specifically from June 11, 2026, through July 19, 2026, to coincide with the FIFA 2026 World Cup, an international soccer tournament organized by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This temporary change overrides existing state laws that typically restrict sales hours, allowing local governing bodies (county commissioners or city officials) to pass resolutions or ordinances to opt-in to these extended hours, with the understanding that a copy of such a decision must be sent to the director of alcoholic beverage control. The bill also clarifies that these extended sales provisions will automatically expire on July 20, 2026.
