The bill proposes to repeal and replace section 311.185 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, which pertains to the direct shipping of alcoholic beverages. The new section defines various terms related to alcoholic beverages, including "alcoholic beverage," "distilled alcohol," "undistilled alcohol," and "manufacturer." It establishes that licensed manufacturers can apply for an alcoholic beverage direct shipper license, allowing them to ship all types of alcoholic beverages directly to residents of Missouri who are at least twenty-one years old for personal use, with specific quantity limits set for distilled and undistilled alcohol. Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for obtaining and maintaining the direct shipper license, including the need for an application, proof of current licensing, and compliance with shipping regulations. It also mandates that all shipments be labeled appropriately and that carriers delivering these shipments must be licensed and adhere to strict delivery protocols. The bill aims to streamline the process for direct shipping of alcoholic beverages while ensuring compliance with state regulations and promoting responsible delivery practices.
