SB 870 - Current law requires an excursion gambling boat to pay to the Missouri Gaming Commission an admission fee of two dollars for each person embarking on the boat, with fifty percent of such fee remitted to the home dock city or county and fifty percent remitted to the Gaming Commission Fund. This act increases such fee to four dollars and adjusts the fee annually for inflation.

This act is identical to SB 637 (2025) and is substantially similar to HB 84 (2025) and to a provision in HCS/HB 970 (2025) and HB 1552 (2025).
