Missouri Revised Statutes Title XX. Alcoholic Beverages § 311.950. Entertainment facilities, purchase through mobile applications--identification required--rulemaking authority

1. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, entertainment facilities including, but not limited to, arenas and stadiums used primarily for concerts, shows, and sporting events of any kind and entities selling concessions at such facilities that possess all necessary and valid licenses and permits to allow for the sale of alcoholic beverages shall not be prohibited from selling and delivering alcoholic beverages purchased through the use of mobile applications to individuals attending events on the premises of such facilities if the facilities are in compliance with all applicable state laws and regulations regarding the sale of alcoholic beverages.

2. For purposes of this section, the term “mobile application” shall mean a computer program or software designed to be used on hand-held mobile devices such as cellular phones and tablet computers.

3. Any employee of a facility or entity selling concessions at a facility who delivers an alcoholic beverage purchased through a mobile application to an individual shall require the individual to show a valid, government-issued identification document that includes the photograph and birth date of the individual, such as a driver's license, and shall verify that the individual is twenty-one years of age or older before the individual is allowed possession of the alcoholic beverage.

4. The division of alcohol and tobacco control may promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2016, shall be invalid and void.
