HF 5042 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Hibbing; social district license issuance allowed.

This bill allows the city of Hibbing to create a social district where people can drink alcohol purchased from nearby bars and stores without buying a new license. Under the plan, the city would define a specific area, set operating hours, and require businesses to use special non-glass containers with clear labels for drinks sold in the district. The legislation also mandates that signs clearly mark the district's boundaries and rules, while ensuring that alcohol cannot be taken outside the designated area. Additionally, the city must create a management plan to maintain public safety within the social district.
