LB 186 amends the Nebraska Liquor Control Act. 
 
Under the bill, regarding entertainment district licenses, the consumption of alcoholic liquor in the commons area shall only occur during 
the hours authorized for sale of alcoholic liquor for consumption on the premises under section 53-179 and while food service is 
available in the commons area or is available for sale by at least one holder of an entert	ainment district license. 
 
The bill changes the meaning of commons area so that there are separate definitions 	for cities of the primary class or a city of the 
metropolitan class compared to a city of the first class, a city of the second class, a village, or the unincorporated 	portion of a county. 
 
The bill contains the emergency clause. 
 
The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission estimates no fiscal impact. There is no basis to disagree with this estimate.
