Moorhead, Dilworth, and Detroit Lakes allowed to issue a social district license.
This bill allows the cities of Moorhead, Dilworth, and Detroit Lakes to create social districts where people can consume alcoholic beverages purchased from nearby licensed establishments. The legislation requires these cities to establish clear boundaries, operating hours, and management plans for the districts while ensuring public safety and allowing property owners to opt out of participation. Beverages consumed in these districts must be in non-glass containers of 16 ounces or less with specific labeling, and they must be disposed of when leaving the district unless returning to the original seller. The bill does not authorize new sales of alcohol in these areas but permits consumption of alcohol already purchased from licensed businesses within designated zones.
