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," which simplifies the process for managing these districts. The bill maintains the framework for local governing bodies to designate entertainment districts, issue licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages within these areas, and regulate the consumption of alcohol in designated commons areas.

Additionally, the bill outlines the requirements for obtaining an entertainment district license, including the application process and associated fees. It also grants local governing bodies the authority to impose occupation taxes on entertainment district licensees and to cancel licenses for cause. The bill emphasizes that violations of the provisions can lead to the revocation or suspension of various licenses held by the entertainment district licensee. Overall, the changes aim to clarify and enhance the regulatory framework surrounding entertainment districts in Nebraska.
