On-sale intoxicating liquor license issued to a licensed cosmetology salon cities authorization provision

Related bill: HF1786

AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.404, subdivision 1, to allow cities to issue an on-sale intoxicating liquor license to licensed cosmetology salons. Currently, cities can grant such licenses to hotels, restaurants, bowling centers, clubs, veterans organizations, sports facilities, liquor stores, and resorts. The bill expands the list of eligible businesses to include cosmetology salons, enabling them to serve alcohol. If enacted, this would allow salons to legally sell intoxicating liquor within their premises, subject to city approval.
