The Streatery Program Endorsements and Protest Process Amendment Act of 2025 amends Title 25 of the District of Columbia Official Code to enhance the regulatory framework for outdoor dining establishments, specifically those located under the jurisdiction of the Washington Convention and Sports Authority. The bill allows retailers with commercial street frontage to be licensed for a streatery and mandates that alcohol businesses obtain a streatery endorsement from the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board. Additionally, it expands carry-out and delivery license requirements for these retailers and establishes a 45-day public comment period for streatery, summer garden, and sidewalk café endorsement and license applications, ensuring that there is a formal notice and opportunity for public protest regarding these applications.

Key provisions include the introduction of definitions for "streatery" and "Washington Convention and Sports Authority food and alcohol business," as well as the requirement for establishments to demonstrate compliance with specific operational standards to obtain the necessary endorsements or licenses. The bill also stipulates that any establishment wishing to sell or serve alcoholic beverages on a streatery must apply for the appropriate endorsement or license by December 31, 2025, and outlines penalties for non-compliance. Furthermore, it clarifies that applications for these endorsements or licenses will be considered substantial changes in operation, thus triggering additional notice requirements.
