This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.412, subdivision 10, to allow individuals who are 17 years old to serve or sell alcoholic beverages in retail establishments that hold an on-sale intoxicating liquor license. Previously, the law prohibited anyone under 18 from serving intoxicating liquor, but this amendment introduces a specific exception for 17-year-olds in certain licensed establishments.
Additionally, the bill removes the prohibition against serving intoxicating liquor in retail settings with an off-sale intoxicating liquor license for individuals under 18. The changes are set to take effect the day following the final enactment of the bill.
