Title

Class 5 municipalities, entertainment districts, authorized to serve alcoholic beverages in designated areas, including areas not adjacent to licensed premises, Sec. 28-3A-17.1 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, a retail Alcoholic Beverage Control Board licensee within an entertainment district is authorized to serve alcoholic beverages within the main licensed premises and on patios or swimming pool areas adjacent to or connected with the main licensed premises. The patrons, guests, or members of the retail licensee may exit the licensed premises with open containers of alcoholic beverages acquired from the licensee and may consume alcoholic beverages anywhere within the entertainment district. The patrons, guests, or members may not enter licensed premises of another licensee with open or closed containers of alcoholic beverages acquired elsewhere.

This bill would allow the governing body of a Class 5 municipality to authorize a retail Alcoholic Beverage Control Board licensee to sell alcoholic beverages in a designated area of the public sidewalk, right-of-way, street, alley or parking area within an established entertainment district for consumption in the designated area including a designated area that is not adjacent to or connected with the main licensed premises.
