Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

6 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Wine buyers gain direct cash rebates

Wine makers can offer cash rebate coupons to consumers. You must apply directly to the maker, and the maker must pay you directly. Retailers and wholesalers cannot handle the application or payment for you. The law sets no rebate amount and does not require makers to offer rebates.

Longer World Cup hours for bars

From June 11 through July 19, 2026, qualifying Missouri bars and restaurants can stay open 24 hours daily. They must hold a retail license to sell liquor by the drink for on-site consumption. Alcohol sales, service, and consumption are allowed from 6 a.m. until 5 a.m. the next day. Local governments can opt out or set hours between their ordinary permitted hours and this temporary maximum; local rules still apply. This temporary permission expires July 20, 2026.

Charities gain alcohol auction fundraising options

Charitable and religious groups and educational institutions can receive donated alcohol for fundraising auctions or raffles. Manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and unlicensed donors can give beverages in their original packages. Events must take place at retail-licensed premises. All proceeds must go to an organization fund unrelated to any licensed retail operation.

Lower fees for American-made malt liquor

For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, Missouri lowers inspection fees for American-made malt liquor. The fee falls from $1.86 to $0.62 per barrel, saving businesses $1.24 per barrel. Foreign imports remain subject to the $1.86-per-barrel fee. Any savings for shoppers depend on whether businesses lower prices.

Malt liquor suppliers must keep invoices

Licensed manufacturers, out-of-state solicitors, and wholesale dealers must prepare duplicate invoices for malt liquor shipments or deliveries. They must keep them for two years. Invoices must show the date, amount, and value of each class of liquor, plus foreign imports' country of origin. Records must be available to state revenue and alcohol-control officials and their representatives for inspection.

Wine sellers face shifting state charges

Beginning July 1, 2026, Missouri lowers the base wine charge from 30 cents to 21 cents per gallon. The first seller in Missouri owes this charge, which funds agricultural business development and marketing through the Agriculture Protection Fund. Each additional wine charge rises from 6 cents to 10.5 cents per gallon or fraction of a gallon. These additional charges go to the Missouri Wine and Grape Fund for wine and grape research, expertise, and promotion. Any effect on store prices depends on business decisions.
