The bill authorizes the City Council of Alabaster, Shelby County, to establish and regulate up to two entertainment districts through an ordinance. These districts can include one or more licensed establishments from the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board within a designated area not exceeding one-half mile by one-half mile. The ordinance will set the operational hours, outline the process for revoking the entertainment district designation, and regulate other operational aspects. Additionally, it allows retail licensees within these districts to obtain an entertainment district permit, permitting patrons to carry open containers of alcoholic beverages within the district, but not into other licensed premises.

The bill also includes provisions that prohibit individuals other than retail licensees from bringing open or closed containers of alcohol from outside the district during operational hours. The enforcement of the ordinance will be the responsibility of the City of Alabaster, which will also have the authority to impose penalties for any violations. The act is set to take effect on June 1, 2026. Notably, the bill includes the insertion of the phrase "Enrolled," and the date of Senate passage is marked as "24-Feb-26."
