This bill amends Minnesota Statutes to modify the requirements for liquor licenses issued to the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota. Specifically, it allows the Board of Regents to obtain on-sale intoxicating liquor licenses for Northrop Auditorium, the intercollegiate football stadium (including events hosted by the Minnesota Vikings), and up to seven additional locations within the university's boundaries as specified in approved license applications. The bill also clarifies that licenses may be issued for non-contiguous spaces as long as they are included in the licensed premises description. Additionally, it changes the name of the intercollegiate football stadium from TCF Bank Stadium to Huntington Bank Stadium.

Furthermore, the bill removes the prohibition on issuing liquor licenses on the campus of the College of Agriculture of the University of Minnesota, thereby allowing for potential liquor sales in that area. Other existing restrictions on liquor licenses in certain areas, such as the Capitol grounds and the State Fairgrounds, remain unchanged. The bill includes an effective date stating that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment.
