This bill allows the city of Edina to issue a social district license to holders of on-sale licenses whose premises are adjacent to a designated social district. The license permits the consumption of alcoholic beverages sold by the on-sale licensee within the social district, but does not allow for sales or service within that area. Additionally, the city may issue a social district license to municipal liquor stores and caterers for sales and consumption within the designated boundaries. The bill outlines the requirements for designating a social district, including the need for clear signage, management plans, and specific container regulations for alcoholic beverages consumed in the district.

The bill also establishes guidelines for the boundaries of the social district, which must be clearly defined and posted, and includes provisions for the management and maintenance of the area to ensure public safety. On-sale licensees are required to adhere to specific container requirements for alcoholic beverages, including identification of the licensee and restrictions on container materials. The possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the social district are subject to additional regulations, such as only allowing beverages purchased from authorized on-sale licensees and requiring disposal of beverages before exiting the district unless reentering the licensed premises. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Edina City Council.
