A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 53-06.1-01 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the definition of alcoholic beverage establishment.

SB 2268 would have amended North Dakota's definition of "alcoholic beverage establishment" in the Century Code. The bill specifically clarified that this term excludes liquor stores, gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores from the category of businesses licensed to serve alcohol on-premises. This redefinition would have directly affected businesses seeking or holding alcohol licenses, ensuring only establishments primarily focused on on-site consumption (like restaurants or bars) qualified under this definition. The bill was introduced but withdrawn before further consideration in 2025.
