Chaska social district liquor license issuance authorization
SF 534 authorizes the city of Chaska to establish social districts - public areas adjacent to licensed alcohol venues where consumption (but not sales) is permitted. It requires Chaska to formally designate district boundaries, hours, and days via ordinance, with clear signage showing consumption rules and disposal requirements for alcohol containers. The bill mandates specific container rules (non-glass, 16oz max, "Drink Responsibly" labels) and requires the city to report on the district's impact to the legislature within 24 months. This directly affects Chaska residents, businesses near designated districts, and on-sale licensees operating in those areas.
