AI Summary
This bill modifies regulations related to alcoholic beverage licenses in specific areas of Broward County, Florida. It creates exceptions to Section 561.42 of Florida Statutes for special alcoholic beverage licenses issued under section 561.20(2)(h) in three distinct locations: the Western Sunrise Entertainment District of the City of Sunrise, Holiday Park in the City of Fort Lauderdale, and the City of Coral Springs. The bill precisely defines the geographical boundaries of these areas, particularly for the Western Sunrise Entertainment District and Holiday Park, using detailed land descriptions that reference specific plat books, blocks, and lot numbers. The legislation exempts these designated areas and their special license holders from certain existing alcohol-related regulatory provisions, and also prevents actions by alcohol manufacturers, importers, distributors, and other vendors in these areas from being subject to the standard regulatory restrictions. The bill is designed to provide more flexibility for alcoholic beverage licensing and operations in these specific Broward County locations, taking effect immediately upon becoming law.
