Kansas Senate Passes Bill for Extended Alcohol Sales During World Cup
The Kansas Senate has approved a bill allowing cities and counties to opt-in for extended alcohol sales during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This change would permit licensed restaurants and liquor stores to sell beer, wine, and spirits from 6 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next day, every day from June 11th to July 19th. The bill aims to help businesses near Kansas City handle the influx of fans, following Missouris decision to allow similar 23-hour sales. Supporters see it as a unique opportunity, while critics warn about potential risks, such as increased DUI incidents. The bill now heads to the House for a vote, potentially leading to a hospitality boom or stricter safety measures.
