Relates to permitting the use of municipal space for outdoor dining

It directly affects restaurant owners and city planners by defining specific physical barriers that are acceptable for outdoor dining setups. The legislation includes a provision stating that if the underlying outdoor dining laws are repealed, this amendment will also be repealed automatically. Ultimately, the bill aims to update regulations to accommodate different types of street layouts for outdoor dining operations.
