JEFFERSON CITY, MO – Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has signed a designation bill in Branson, recognizing the city as the “Live Entertainment Capital of Missouri.” Senate Bill (SB) 348 includes 46 additional designations recognizing a wide array of people, places, and causes across the state.
Provisions in the bill include honorary awareness days, weeks, and months; city and town titles; and the naming of roads and bridges in honor of individuals who have made a lasting impact on their communities — including several Missourians who have fallen in the line of duty.
“We appreciate the efforts of legislators to honor and recognize the people, places, and causes that are important to their constituents,” said Governor Kehoe. “For decades, Branson has welcomed millions of visitors with world-class music, performances, and family entertainment. I was proud to sign this legislation in Branson today as we recognize the people and stories behind each of these designations.”
