“We have consulted with numerous experts to determine if these types of receptions are compliant with Clean Missouri, and unfortunately they are not,” Missy Bonnot of the chamber said in the email to members. “As you would expect, many other communities and entities are canceling similar events held in Jefferson City.”

The Missouri Travel Council also is not planning to offer its annual pancake breakfast in the Rotunda as part of its mission to boost tourism in the Show-Me State.

Some groups are still assessing the effects of the change.

The Missouri Grocers Association, for example, holds a lobbying day each year that includes a breakfast reception for members of the House and Senate.

“Right now we have not made any changes,” assistant state director Cindy McMillan said. “But we’re watching the situation.”

The Missouri Cable Telecommunications Association also is assessing whether to hold an event in the Rotunda.

The Association of Missouri Electrical Cooperatives is likely to move forward with its annual fish fry because officials say the food is worth less than $5, largely because of the volume of people they serve.
