The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 340A.412, subdivision 10, to allow individuals who are 17 years of age 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 clarifies that individuals under 18 are still not permitted to serve intoxicating liquor in establishments with an off-sale intoxicating liquor license. The changes will take effect the day following the final enactment of the bill.
