AI Generated Summary
This Minnesota House bill (H.F. No. 2027) proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.412, subdivision 10, regarding the employment of minors in liquor-serving establishments.
Currently, individuals under 18 years old are prohibited from serving or selling intoxicating liquor in retail establishments with an off-sale intoxicating liquor license. The proposed change would allow 17-year-olds to serve or sell intoxicating liquor in establishments with an on-sale intoxicating liquor license (e.g., bars, restaurants).
The bill was introduced by Representative O'Driscoll, read for the first time, and referred to the Committee on Commerce Finance and Policy for further consideration.
