Designates Branson as the "Live Entertainment Capital of Missouri"

HB 109 designates Branson as Missouri's "Live Entertainment Capital" by adding this official title to state code (Section 10.254). This ceremonial bill directly affects Branson's identity and promotional efforts but does not create new funding, regulations, or policy changes. The key mechanism is a symbolic designation in state law, intended to highlight Branson's reputation for live entertainment venues and events. The bill passed the House unanimously (12-0) but was postponed in committee on May 15, 2025.
