2024 Summer Olympics, Paralympic Games, Art All Night, and Dine All Night Emergency Amendment Act of 2024
This bill temporarily extends the hours for selling and consuming alcohol in Washington, D.C. to support the 2024 Summer Olympics, Paralympic Games, and two city-wide events called Art All Night and Dine All Night. Under the new rules, licensed bars and restaurants can operate 24 hours a day during these specific dates if they register with the Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Board and pay a $100 fee. Additionally, the law allows non-alcohol businesses like restaurants to sell alcohol during the all-night events and permits both indoor and outdoor entertainment to continue until 2 a.m. The changes are set to expire on September 30, 2024, and apply only to the dates listed for the Olympics and the special events.
