The bill, HB 4031, establishes the "Oviedo Arts and Entertainment District" within the City of Oviedo, Seminole County, and delineates its geographical boundaries with precise legal descriptions, including specific coordinates, angles, and distances. This legislation allows the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco to issue special licenses or modify existing licenses for bona fide licensees operating within the district, permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises and allowing patrons to remove open containers to be consumed within the district. The design and color of these open containers will be determined by the Oviedo City Council.
Additionally, the bill mandates that all licensees must comply with existing statutory requirements, ensuring that the new provisions do not exempt them from The Beverage Law. The effective date of the bill is specified, allowing for prompt enactment upon passage. Overall, the bill serves to enhance the legal framework surrounding the sale of alcoholic beverages in the newly established district while providing clarity on property boundaries for land use and development.
