This bill allows the city of Hibbing 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 the district itself. Additionally, the city may issue licenses to municipal liquor stores and caterers for sales and service within the social district. The bill outlines the requirements for designating the social district, including the need for clear boundaries, signage, and management plans to ensure public safety.

The bill also establishes specific requirements for on-sale licensees and the containers used for alcoholic beverages consumed in the social district. Containers must identify the licensee, display a unique logo for the district, be non-glass, and include a responsible drinking message. Furthermore, the bill stipulates that only beverages purchased from authorized on-sale licensees may be consumed in the district, and individuals must dispose of any alcoholic beverages before exiting unless reentering the premises where they were purchased. The provisions of this bill will take effect upon approval by the Hibbing City Council.
