This bill authorizes the City Council of Alabaster to establish and regulate the operation of up to two entertainment districts within the city, as defined by the Alabaster City Code. The entertainment districts can include one or more licensed establishments from the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and must not exceed a size of one-half mile by one-half mile. The city council is empowered to set regulations regarding the hours of operation, revocation of the entertainment district designation, and other operational aspects. Additionally, the bill allows retail licensees within these districts to obtain an entertainment district permit, which permits patrons to carry open containers of alcoholic beverages within the district, while prohibiting the entry of such containers into other licensed premises or the introduction of outside alcoholic beverages.

The bill also stipulates that the ordinance governing the entertainment districts will be enforced by the City of Alabaster and will include penalties for any violations, as permitted by law. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2025. Notably, the bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new provisions regarding the establishment and regulation of entertainment districts, as well as the specific allowances and restrictions related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages within those districts.
