HB 2429 -- Entertainment District Municipal Permits

Sponsor:  Hunter

Currently, a promotional association representing historic
downtown Kansas City may obtain an entertainment district special
license to sell liquor by the drink from portable bars within its
common areas between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. on Monday through
Saturday and between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. on Sundays.  This
bill requires a promotional association to also obtain a permit
from the city after submitting a detailed plan specifying the
legal description of the district, the members of the promotional
association, the calendar of events for the district, proposed
public street closures, proof of insurance, and the security to
be provided.  Upon plan approval, the association may sell liquor
between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. on Monday through Saturday and
between 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. on Sunday.  If an association
violates any liquor laws or regulations, it may be assessed a
civil fine of up to $5,000.  If an association is found
responsible for violations at three separate events, its plan
will be deemed terminated, and it will not be allowed to submit
another plan without the prior written consent of the Supervisor
of the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control within the
Department of Public Safety.
