Authorizes the city of Osage Beach to establish an entertainment district
SB 1472 authorizes the city of Osage Beach to create an entertainment district near a lake with at least 1,000 miles of shoreline, specifically for areas meeting population requirements (cities with 4,400-4,900 residents and adjacent counties with 40,000-50,000 residents). The bill allows licensed businesses within the district to sell alcohol until 1:30 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 6 a.m.-1:30 a.m. Sunday, including portable bars, and permits patrons to carry drinks between licensed venues within the district boundaries. It requires businesses to use uniquely marked containers for alcohol, imposes a $300 annual license fee, and holds license holders fully responsible for alcohol violations on their premises or in common areas. This directly affects Osage Beach businesses, bars, and restaurants seeking to operate under the new district framework.
