City of Watertown may issue social district licenses to on-sale liquor license holders whose premises are contiguous with a designated social district, allowing consumption (but not sales) of alcoholic beverages within the district

The city must designate the social district by ordinance, specifying boundaries, hours, and days of operation, and may not include areas where property owners object

Containers for social district consumption must be non-glass, hold no more than 16 fluid ounces, identify the selling licensee, display a district-unique logo, and include "Drink Responsibly - Be 21" in at least 12-point font

Alcoholic beverages must be disposed of before exiting the social district unless returning to the licensed premises where purchased

Within 24 months of the first license issuance, the city must report to legislative committees on community response, public safety concerns, challenges encountered, and recommendations for modifications
