This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.412, by adding a new subdivision that allows for the transfer of wine between liquor stores that are commonly owned. The new legal language specifies that holders of off-sale intoxicating liquor licenses can transfer wine from one licensed premises to another, provided that certain conditions are met. These conditions include that both the transferring and receiving premises must be held by the same licensee, the licensee must notify the wholesaler and the Division of Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement in writing about the transfer, and only one transfer is permitted from a licensed premises within a three-month period.

The effective date of this new provision will be the day following its final enactment. This change aims to provide more flexibility for liquor store owners in managing their inventory while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
