Farmington; city allowed to issue social district license.
This bill allows the city of Farmington to issue social district licenses, enabling designated areas where people can consume alcoholic beverages purchased from nearby licensed establishments. The legislation requires cities to clearly define district boundaries with posted signs, establish management plans for public safety, and mandate that drinks be in non-glass containers with specific labeling requirements. Only beverages bought from participating on-sale licensees can be consumed in the district, and all drinks must be disposed of before leaving the area unless the person returns to the place of purchase. The city must also submit a report within 24 months detailing the district's operation, community response, and any public safety concerns.
