Edina permission to issue a social district license

This bill allows the city of Edina to issue social district licenses that permit the consumption of alcoholic beverages in designated outdoor areas, such as parks or patios, without allowing sales or service of alcohol in those spaces. The legislation requires the city to clearly define district boundaries with posted signs, establish management plans for public safety, and set specific days and hours for alcohol consumption. License holders must use non-glass containers with unique district markings and responsible drinking warnings, and beverages must be consumed only within the designated area or returned to the place of purchase. This change directly affects the city of Edina and businesses holding on-sale liquor licenses that wish to participate in the social district program.
