Relates to outdoor alcohol service for certain special events
This bill allows local governments to request expanded outdoor alcohol service for special events held in June and July 2026, affecting licensed establishments such as bars, restaurants, and event venues. It permits these venues to use barriers or demarcations for outdoor service areas, share spaces with other licensees or non-alcohol businesses, and relax certain height requirements for barriers on sloped sites. The legislation requires local authorities to provide law enforcement and cleanup services, mandates security and signage for public events, and establishes joint liability rules for participating venues regarding safety and compliance.
