Local Option Alcoholic Beverage Control Law; revise definition of "qualified resort area."

This bill updates the definition of "qualified resort area" under Mississippi's local alcoholic beverage control laws, allowing specific municipalities to set stricter rules for alcohol sales. It authorizes local governments in these designated areas to establish operating hours for alcohol facilities, require that at least 25% of revenue comes from food sales rather than drinks, and limit where alcohol-selling businesses can be located. Additionally, the law permits these areas to issue special permits allowing the retail sale, storage, and distribution of alcohol within their boundaries. The legislation directly affects city councils and towns that choose to be classified as qualified resort areas, giving them new tools to regulate alcohol consumption locally.
