Vestavia Hills; entertainment districts, city council authorized to establish

HB 144 authorizes Vestavia Hills' city council to establish up to five designated entertainment districts within the city. Within these districts, businesses with on-premises alcohol licenses can sell alcoholic beverages for consumption anywhere in the district, not just at specific venues. This bill directly affects Vestavia Hills residents, local businesses operating in entertainment zones, and visitors who would be permitted to consume alcohol freely throughout the designated areas. The key change is expanding where alcohol consumption is allowed within legally defined zones, streamlining the process for the city council to create these districts.
