SF 2107 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act permitting a city to create entertainment districts allowing for the possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in certain public places.

SF 2107 permits Iowa cities to establish "entertainment districts" where people can legally possess and consume alcoholic beverages in public spaces like streets and sidewalks. Cities must create local ordinances defining these districts, including maps, operating hours, requirements for clearly labeled containers, and rules for participating bars or restaurants holding "class C" or "special class C" alcohol licenses. The bill explicitly prohibits consumption in vehicles, during non-operational hours, or in ways that violate Iowa's general alcohol laws. This change directly affects cities seeking to create such districts, licensed establishments, and the public in designated areas.
