This bill authorizes the City Council of Alabaster, Alabama, to establish and regulate up to two entertainment districts within the city through an ordinance. The entertainment districts, defined in the Alabaster City Code, can encompass areas not exceeding one-half mile by one-half mile and may include multiple Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board licensees. The ordinance will set regulations for the hours of operation, the potential revocation of the entertainment district designation, and other operational aspects.

Additionally, the bill allows retail licensees within these entertainment districts to obtain an entertainment district permit, enabling patrons to exit their licensed premises with open containers of alcoholic beverages within the district. However, it prohibits individuals other than retail licensees from bringing in open or closed containers of alcohol from outside the district during operational hours. The ordinance will be enforced by the City of Alabaster and will include penalties for violations. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026.
