NE LB186

Amends Nebraska's entertainment district law to allow alcohol consumption in commons areas when food service is available either in the commons area itself or for sale by at least one entertainment district licensee

Creates separate "commons area" definitions based on municipality size: metropolitan and primary class cities must have physical barriers and close vehicular traffic, while first class cities, second class cities, villages, and unincorporated counties may allow motor vehicles with safety measures like signage, lighting, and reduced speeds

Requires smaller municipalities using the less restrictive commons area definition to prohibit carrying open containers and consuming alcohol on open streets/highways except when crossing at designated crosswalks

Entertainment district license fee remains $300 annually, payable to the local governing body clerk

Declared an emergency measure, taking effect immediately upon passage and approval
