JEFFERSON CITY- A Missouri House Bill is aiming to make to-go alcohol from restaurants and bars permanent. House Bill 547 is sponsored by Rep. Nick Schroer, and co-sponsored by Rep. Tom Hannegan, Rep. Ashley Bland Manlove and Rep. Richard Brown. The bill was voted to pass by the House of Representatives in a 141-12 decision. The bill is currently in the Senate with only the second reading of the bill completed. Rep. Schroer says the bill is an extension of Gov. Parson's executive order that was enacted back at the beginning of the pandemic. On April 14, 2020, the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control temporarily waived restrictions on to-go alcohol sales in Missouri. The limit on restrictions has been continuously extended throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
