The bill aims to prohibit restaurants in Minnesota from imposing nongratuity surcharges on customers. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 325E, specifically stating that restaurants can only charge for gratuities, as defined in section 177.23, subdivision 9, or for taxes mandated by government entities related to the sale or purchase of goods.

Additionally, the bill establishes that any violations of this prohibition will be subject to the penalties and remedies outlined in section 8.31. This legislative measure seeks to protect consumers from unexpected charges at restaurants, ensuring transparency in pricing.
