AN ACT
To repeal section 311.210, RSMo 1994, relating to liquor licenses, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the same subject.
Section A. Section 311.210, RSMo 1994, is repealed and one new section enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as section 311.210, to read as follows:
311.210. 1. All applications for all licenses mentioned in this chapter shall be made to the supervisor of liquor control and shall be accompanied by a [proper remittance] bank draft, money order, certified check or cashier's check made payable to the director of revenue for the correct amount of the license fee. Remittance for renewal of licenses filed on or before the first day of May of each year may be made by personal or business check. If such check is returned for insufficient funds the licensee shall replace such check and pay a fifty-dollar handling fee within fourteen days from the date such notice is postmarked, by remitting payment by bank draft, money order, certified check or cashier's check. If the licensee has not replaced such check and paid a fifty-dollar handling fee within fourteen days, beginning on the fifteenth day, if such licensee's renewed license has been issued, such renewed license shall be suspended until the day following the day the licensee makes restitution for the insufficient funds check and pays a fifty-dollar handling fee, or if such licensee's renewed license has not been issued, the renewed license shall not be issued until on or after the day following the day the licensee makes restitution for the insufficient funds check and pays a fifty-dollar handling fee.
2. The supervisor of liquor control shall have the power and duty to determine whether each application for such license
shall be approved or disapproved. Upon disapproval of any application for a license, the supervisor of liquor control
shall so notify the applicant in writing, setting forth therein the grounds and reasons for disapproval, and shall return
therewith the applicant's remittance. Upon approval of any application for a license, the supervisor of liquor control shall
issue to the applicant the appropriate license and contemporaneously with such issuance shall file a notice of the issuance
of such license together with the applicant's remittance in payment of the same with the director of revenue. The director
of revenue shall immediately issue a receipt in duplicate for such payment, one copy of which shall be filed with the
supervisor of liquor control and one copy retained by the director of revenue.
