Research notes
Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area is an opt-in municipal program authorized by state liquor-control statute. Municipalities adopt DORAs by ordinance subject to population-tier size limits (max area scales with population). State framework preempts the baseline open-container prohibition within designated boundaries only; it does not override zoning but does interact with liquor-licensed use standards. Captured as a state overlay so city profiles referencing DORAs have a structured anchor.
