Status: in_force

149.045. Common carriers and warehousemen, duties of — damaged cigarettes, how handled. — 1. The right of a common carrier in this state to carry unstamped cigarettes shall not be affected by this chapter. However, should any common carrier sell cigarettes to its passengers while being carried in this state, the sale shall be subject to the tax levied hereunder, and to the rules and regulations of the director.

2. Common carriers transporting cigarettes to a point within this state, or a bonded warehouseman or bailee having possession of cigarettes, are hereby required to transmit to the director, on forms and in the manner and time provided by him, a statement of the consignment of cigarettes showing the date, point of origin, point of delivery, to whom delivery was made, the amount of cigarettes refused by any consignee * and all the cigarettes returned to the manufacturer. Failure of carriers to file the reports shall make the carrier liable for any unpaid tax on the cigarettes. Cigarettes damaged in transit may be sold by the carrier when the cigarettes are refused by the consignee * if the carrier first obtains written authority of the director for the sale and pays the tax due thereon. Cigarettes damaged in transit which have been refused by the consignee * and not sold or returned to the manufacturer shall be destroyed in the presence of an agent of the director and the tax on the cigarettes shall be waived. Any consignee * who discovers a shortage in transit after signing a receipt of delivery shall be held responsible for the full tax on the total amount of cigarettes shown on the receipt of delivery. In all other instances of shortage in shipment of cigarettes as evidenced by waybill or invoice, the carrier shall be held liable for the tax due on all missing cigarettes unless the carrier shall furnish proof satisfactory to the director that the cause of the shortage was due to the theft of the cigarettes by a person outside of the employment of the carrier. Provided, the proof is satisfactory to the director, the tax on the missing cigarettes shall be waived. The proof shall be stated on forms furnished and prescribed by the director.

Mo. Rev. Stat. § 573.525 — MO Code / Chapter 573 / Section 573.525
573.525 Purpose — findings.
Status: in_force

573.525. Purpose — findings. — 1. It is the purpose of sections 573.525 to 573.537 to regulate sexually oriented businesses in order to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of this state, and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses within the state. The provisions of sections 573.525 to 573.537 have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content or reasonable access to any communicative materials, including sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is neither the intent nor effect of sections 573.525 to 573.537 to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the first amendment, or to deny access by the distributors and exhibitors of sexually oriented entertainment to their intended market. Neither is it the intent nor effect of sections 573.525 to 573.537 to condone or legitimize the distribution of obscene material.

2. The general assembly finds that:

(1) Sexually oriented businesses, as a category of commercial enterprises, are associated with a wide variety of adverse secondary effects, including but not limited to personal and property crimes, prostitution, potential spread of disease, lewdness, public indecency, obscenity, illicit drug use and drug trafficking, negative impacts on surrounding properties, urban blight, litter, and sexual assault and exploitation;

(2) Sexually oriented businesses should be separated from sensitive land uses to minimize the impact of their secondary effects upon such uses, and should be separated from other sexually oriented businesses, to minimize the secondary effects associated with such uses and to prevent an unnecessary concentration of sexually oriented businesses in one area;

(3) Each of the foregoing negative secondary effects constitutes a harm which the state has a substantial interest in preventing or abating, or both. Such substantial government interest in preventing secondary effects, which is the state's rationale for sections 573.525 to 573.537 , exists independent of any comparative analysis between sexually oriented and nonsexually oriented businesses. Additionally, the state's interest in regulating sexually oriented businesses extends to preventing future secondary effects of current or future sexually oriented businesses that may locate in the state.

2. Before any order is made for the payment of money to a nonresident guardian, curator, committee or conservator of the estate, or for the sale, mortgage, or renewal or extension of a mortgage on the property of the person by him, he shall produce satisfactory evidence to the court that he has given bond and security, as guardian, curator, committee or conservator, in the state or territory in which he and the person reside, in an amount sufficient under the laws of the state or territory in which he and his ward reside to cover the sum to be paid him or the appraised value of the property to be sold, in addition to such other property as is in his hands; and the proof shall consist of a copy of the record setting forth his appointment as guardian, committee, curator or conservator, and also a copy of his bond, executed as such, certified according to the act of Congress which regulates the authentication of records.
