If the boundary of a social district directly borders a designated consumption area established by the owner or property owners' association of a multi-tenant establishment that holds a common area entertainment permit, the owner or property owners' association of the multi-tenant establishment and the local government that designated the social district may enter into a memorandum of understanding signed by both parties that allows open containers approved for possession and consumption in the designated consumption area to be possessed and consumed in the social district, and open containers approved for possession and consumption in the social district to be possessed and consumed in the designated consumption area during days and hours when both the social district and the designated consumption area are active. All requirements of G.S. 18B-300.1 and G.S. 18B-1001.5 shall apply when a customer takes an alcoholic beverage from a social district to a designated consumption area that is contiguous to or within the social district or from a designated consumption area to a social district that is contiguous to or overlapping with the designated consumption area. A customer may not take a container comprised of glass from a designated consumption area to a contiguous social district or the area of an overlapping social district that is outside the designated consumption area. The holder of the common area entertainment permit shall submit to the Commission a copy of the memorandum of understanding signed by both parties. Either party may terminate a memorandum of understanding by notifying the other party and the Commission in writing of the termination. (2022-49, s. 4.)
