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 that area. 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 patrons within the social district. Licensees must ensure that alcoholic beverages are sold in containers that meet certain criteria, such as being non-glass and clearly identifying the source of the beverage. Patrons are only allowed to possess and consume beverages purchased from licensed establishments within the district and must dispose of any beverages before exiting the area unless returning to the original licensed premises. The provisions of this bill will take effect upon approval by the Hibbing City Council.
