This bill proposes the establishment of a "social district license" for cities of the first class in Minnesota, allowing on-sale license holders to permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages within designated social districts. The bill outlines the process for cities to designate these districts, which must be contiguous with the premises of the on-sale licensee and cannot include areas where property owners object. The designation must specify the boundaries, days, and hours for alcohol consumption, and cities are required to post management and maintenance plans online to ensure public safety.

Additionally, the bill sets forth specific requirements for on-sale licensees and the containers used for alcoholic beverages consumed in the social district. These include restrictions on container materials, labeling, and volume. The bill mandates that cities report to legislative committees within 24 months of issuing the first social district license, covering various aspects such as community response, public safety concerns, and recommendations for modifications to the law. Overall, the legislation aims to create a structured framework for social districts while ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
