AN ACT
To amend chapter 191, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to the use of tobacco in a private business.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 191, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 191.778, to read as follows:
191.778. 1. If any political subdivision prohibits the use of tobacco in a private business under section 191.777 and a particular business would allow the use of tobacco on its premises if the prohibition was not in effect, all tax revenue generated by the business through property taxes and county and municipal sales taxes on tobacco products that would accrue to the benefit of the political subdivision’s general revenue or operating fund and not to the benefit of any dedicated fund shall be remitted to the local school district or districts in lieu of the political subdivision.
2. A private business that would allow the use of tobacco on its premises if the prohibition was not in effect shall submit a written record of its preference, including its name, address, and business license number, to the political subdivision.
3. As used in this section, “private business” means an entertainment venue, including but not limited to a casino gaming facility, cigar bar or lounge, tobacco retail establishment, bowling alley, or restaurant.
