This bill proposes the establishment of a "social district license" that allows cities in Minnesota to permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages within designated areas. The bill outlines the process for cities to issue these licenses to holders of on-sale licenses whose premises are adjacent to the social district. It requires cities to define the boundaries of the social district, including specific premises where consumption is allowed, and to adopt this designation by ordinance. The bill also mandates that the social district be clearly marked with signs indicating the area, the days and hours of permitted consumption, and the local law enforcement agency responsible for the area.

Additionally, the bill sets forth requirements for on-sale licensees and the containers used for alcoholic beverages consumed in the social district. It specifies that only beverages purchased from licensed establishments within or adjacent to the district may be consumed there, and outlines container specifications to ensure safety and responsible consumption. Furthermore, the bill requires cities to report on the social district's implementation and community response within 24 months of the first license issuance, addressing various aspects such as public safety concerns and recommendations for future modifications.
