Board continues liquor-license ordinance (Bill 25-18) to May 27 amid pending state action
Summary
A motion to continue Bill 25-18, an ordinance amending the city’s alcoholic beverages code, passed 6–1 so the city can await possible state action on HB 970.
The Board voted to continue Bill 25-18, an ordinance amending the municipal code’s alcoholic beverages chapter, until the Board’s May 27 meeting to allow time for pending state legislation to resolve.
Alderman Murphy moved to continue the bill and told the Board the Missouri House had passed HB 970 and the measure was in the Senate; the motion noted the state’s action could affect the city ordinance. The Board took a roll-call vote on the continuance. The motion passed 6–1; Alderman Harder voted no.
Why it matters: the city ordinance would amend Title 6 (Alcoholic Beverages) of the municipal code. Board members said they wanted to await the state legislature’s final action before moving forward.
Ending: The Board will reconsider Bill 25-18 at its May 27 meeting.
