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. The amendment specifies that this service or sale must be supervised by an employee of the establishment who is over 17 years of age. Additionally, the bill removes the prohibition against individuals under 18 serving intoxicating liquor in establishments with an off-sale intoxicating liquor license.

The bill also includes an effective date, stating that the new provisions will take effect the day following final enactment. This change aims to provide more employment opportunities for minors in the hospitality industry while ensuring that there is appropriate supervision during the service of alcoholic beverages.
