This bill amends section 53-123.17 of the Nebraska Liquor Control Act to streamline the language regarding entertainment district licenses. It removes redundant phrases, specifically the clause allowing local governing bodies to revoke the designation of an entertainment district "at any time." The bill maintains the framework for local governing bodies to designate entertainment districts where retail, craft brewery, and microdistillery licensees can sell alcoholic beverages for consumption in a commons area, while also outlining the responsibilities and regulations for licensees operating within these districts.

Additionally, the bill clarifies the process for obtaining an entertainment district license, including the requirement for an application and a fee of $300. It also establishes the authority of local governing bodies to impose occupation taxes on entertainment district licensees and to regulate these areas through ordinances. The original section 53-123.17 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous legal language to enhance clarity and efficiency in the regulation of entertainment districts.
